MILAN (Reuters) - Massimiliano Allegri is regarded as one of Europe's most tactically astute coaches but a rare miscalculation from the Juventus boss contributed to their Champions League downfall against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
Juventus were almost perfect for the first hour as they led 2-0 in the round of 16 second leg tie and gave Pep Guardiola's Bayern a footballing lesson in their own Allianz arena. But two substitutions by Allegri handed the initiative to Bayern who hit back with two late goals to level at 2-2 and then scored twice more in extra-time to win 4-2 and 6-4 on aggregate after an extraordinary, see-saw tie.
