Shares in the Italian champions were down by almost three per cent on Monday morning following the heartbreaking defeat.

The club, owned by the billionaire Agnelli family, enjoyed a bump to its share price last month after securing its place in the world's most-watched annual sporting event.
However, the current trading price of 0.286 cents per share takes Juventus' shares to their lowest level since their semi-final win over Real Madrid in May.
