Manchester City began the UEFA Champions League group stage with a 2-1 loss at home to Juventus on Tuesday night at the Etihad Stadium.
The hosts took the lead on a Giorgio Chiellini own goal in the 57th minute, but Juventus equalized via Mario Mandzukic 13 minutes later. Alvaro Morata won it with a superb curler nine minutes from time.
"I think the Italian team defended well and I think they were lucky today," City midfielder Yaya Toure told BT Sport (h/t BBC Sport). "We just have to be strong and try to bounce back in the next game. We missed a lot of chances today. We have to learn from it and try to do better."
Up next for City in the Champions League is a trip to Borussia Monchengladbach on Sept. 30. Juventus will host Sevilla the same day in Group D.
