Sulley Muntari may have done Barcelona a favor with his late tackle, as Paulo Dybala could miss the second leg of the UEFA Champions League clash against Los Blaugranas after leaving the pitch with an ankle injury.
The talented playmaker left the pitch after 54 minutes, moments after Muntari's sliding tackle caused him to limp. Despite his attempts to keep playing, Dybala finally fell to the pitch, giving Juve's fans cause to worry ahead of the crucial UCL tie.
Coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke about Dybala's injury after their 2-0 win.
"He came out with a knock to his right ankle. It seems to be a mild sprain. We've got nothing to do but being optimistic about it," Allegri stated.
In order to keep their chances alive, Allegri admits that Juventus will need to go out there and try to increase their lead.
"Barça are going to attack us, the first half hour will be crucial. Our aim is to score two goals. We must be brave and confident, because we can reach the semi-finals but it's not going to be easy," the coach concluded.
