Juventus talisman Alessandro Del Piero insists that is not overly worried by the Bianconeri’s poor run of form that saw them suffer a first, yet potentially costly, 2-0 defeat at Bordeaux in the Champions League this week.

The Turin giants failed to book their place in the last 16 of the competition after a disappointing display in France and will now have to avoid defeat at home to Bayern Munich next month to progress.

“It’s clear that I am not satisfied,” Del Piero told the Corriere dello Sport.

“When you lose you are upset. We suffered too much. We could reflect on several things at the moment, but the truth is that we were coming off a testing three-month spell.

“There have been plenty of injuries and the new players are settling in. It’s inevitable to go through ups and downs.”

Juve travel to Sardinia this weekend to take on in-form Cagliari.

“Let’s hope we get back to winning ways soon, starting with Cagliari, so that we gain more self-confidence,” concluded the skipper.
