This Sunday, Italian champions Juventus was able to overcome a 1-0 deficit at Genoa's stadium. Genoa scored in the 18th minute and the bianconeri couldn't tie the game until the 61st minute. The second goal arrived in the 78th and then Asamoah wrapped the game up with five minutes to go.

That's how it's done. Even though Real Madrid finished the last Liga BBVA season with 9 different comebacks, Mourinho's team has started to panic every time the other team scores a goal, and that is not very effective. When you're better than the rivals, it's more positive to keep calm and try to play regularly unless there are only few minutes remaining.

Instead, Real Madrid conceded an early goal against Sevilla and then played like the game was in the injury time already. 90 minutes of injury time.
