After the match, coach Mourinho said AS Roma played better and deserved to win. Sharing on DAZN, the Portuguese coach said: "It's disappointing to go into the break with a score of 0-0. AS Roma dominated the opponent in the first half.
We had 3 or 4 clear scoring opportunities but we couldn't take advantage. To be fair, AS Roma deserved the 3 points from this match. We were unlucky, and Juventus were defensively focused but they got the 3 points.

Although I am satisfied with the players' fighting spirit, I also admit that the team lacks quality in attack. The players need to get back on track and come back soon."
