Steven Pienaar may be retired from football, but that doesn't mean he is still isn't invested in the clubs he has played for, and he says he was 'hurt' by what Juventus did last night. Did you see his reaction to Tottenham's loss?
The Italian giants looked almost certain to suffer an early exit from the competition at the hands of Spurs after Son Heung-min's strike put them in front. However, a dramatic two minutes in the second half saw Juventus turn the scoreline in their favour, as they knocked the Lillywhites out of the Champions League on Wednesday night.
That’s it! Juventus have done the “Italian Job” on Spurs to progress to the quarter-final of the Champions League. Buffon will have to wait once again to secure his 50th clean sheet in the UCL, but he hasn’t played his last CL game just yet!

It was Spurs' first defeat at Wembley in 15 games, and also the first time they had conceded two goals on home soil since December, and the loss, naturally, left them upset.
After the game, Pienaar – who spent six months at Tottenham – took to his social accounts to admit that he upset about their exit from the tournament, but he did see a silver lining to it.

It wasn't all celebration for Juventus though, as Giorgio Chiellini turned teary-eyed in his post-match interview when he was asked about Davide Astori's tragic passing.
