Juventus lost 0-1 to Real Madrid in the 2025 Club World Cup round of 16 after Gonzalo Garcia scored in the second half. Juventus midfielder Locatelli said the team had tried their best in this game, and now the players need to rest and recharge, and start again with more energy.

In the 54th minute of the second half, Arnold made a cross and Gonzalo Garcia jumped up and headed the ball into the goal, helping Real Madrid take the lead 1-0.

Although goalkeeper Di Gregorio kept saving Real Madrid's shots in the following time, Juventus still failed to score and eventually lost 0-1 to Xabi Alonso's team and missed the chance to enter the quarterfinals.

"I think we gave it our all in this game and showed great team spirit even against a very strong opponent," said Locatelli, 27. "It's a shame that they took one chance and we didn't, but the only really bad game we played in this tournament was against Manchester City."

"We are Juventus and we naturally want to go far in this competition. Although the result is disappointing, we gave our all and showed the right attitude. In contrast, we played too slowly against Manchester City and let them completely control the game."

Locatelli also added, "This has been a long and intense journey and we are indeed tired. Now is the time to recharge and try to start again in a fuller state."

Juventus striker Yildiz said, "We prepared well for this game and performed well. We lost to a strong team, they are one of the favorites to win this tournament, of course there are many strong teams here."

In addition, Cambiasso said, "We could have taken better advantage of those opportunities, but overall we played well. The team is very focused, and that is the biggest difference from the game against Manchester City. This is a very valuable experience, and now we need to recover well and prepare for the new season."
