- Story Text: They may have suffered a defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final but Juventus were given a heroes' welcome by fans as they touched down in Turin on Sunday (June 4).
Loyal Juventus fans gathered at the Turin airport, singing club songs, waving flags and cheering as they waited for the team to return from Cardiff on Sunday afternoon.
The fans pledged their support and said the team had done them proud despite the final outcome.
They were rewarded with a few waves from players who quickly made their way to a bus that awaited outside the airport terminal.
Juventus's 4-1 defeat to Real Madrid was dubbed a "galactic disappointment" by Italian media but should prove to be more of a reality check than the end of an era for the Turin club.
A seventh loss in nine finals in Europe's leading club tournament leaves the Turin side, who recently claimed their sixth straight Serie A title, looking for ways to turn their domestic dominance into glory on the continent. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
