Atalanta and AC Milan were defeated by Club Brugge and Feyenoord respectively, with Juventus who defeated Porto.
Former Napoli and Inter Milan coach Benitez said to La Gazzetta Dello Sport: “We must be optimistic, without losing realism. Juventus starts with a minimum but useful advantage, they can direct the game and have the right men, they found the goals From Kolo Muani, they have restored Vlahovic, they have their own personality.
Benitez added about the referee incidents that Atalanta punished in Bruges: “We have to place them quickly behind us, in fact it is currently necessary not to stop thinking about them, not to fall into that subtle form of victimization Making that risk worse. “
Finally, a joke about Mike Maignan's fault for Milan: “One of the players historically with the highest performance. The confirmation that football is sometimes a lie, as I have always said. An accident is nothing more to add, Neither to live for an indefinite period of time is the ideal time to re -confirm his strength.
“But a challenge like this, with such an impressive value, cannot be entrusted to just one player, no matter how brilliant. Milan must be able to get back on the ground by more men. Reinforcements have arrived from the market that Some sectors have determined and increased the level of the group “
