The old lady failed at home in an attempt to beat Nantes, but in the rematch in France she already celebrated the local cup holder and qualified for the round of 16 at her own expense.
The one who was bigger than the French was Angel Di Maria, the Argentinian midfielder who scored his third hat-trick in his career - what is amazing is that his first hat-trick was in Benfica on February 27, 2010, the previous hat-trick was for Paris Saint-Germain in the cup on February 6 and now he is with His third hat trick in his career and in the month of February, on the 23rd of the month.
Di Maria found the back of the net in the fifth minute with a spectacular performance to the far corner, completed a double in the 20th minute from a penalty kick from 11 meters after Nicolas Falua touched the ball with his hand in the area and was also sent off with a direct red card and sealed a hat trick with a strike in the 78th minute.
For Juventus this is a particularly important victory in light of their goal of winning the Europa League this season and through the second most important undertaking to return to the Champions League next season, a goal that does not seem so achievable through the Italian league.
