Juventus general director Beppe Marotta is disappointed by the number of empty seats at the Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk.

It is the first time the Juventus stadium has hosted a match in Europe’s premier competition with the number of tickets sold just 30,000.

“In truth, 30,000 paying attendees are a considerable number of people. We have many supporters who live outside the city and it is Tuesday, so that creates problems,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“Perhaps we deserved a different atmosphere, but we know there are many watching at home, just as the passion of those in the stadium will be felt.”

 The capacity of the Juventus Stadium is 41,000, though prices were put up for Tueday’s Champions League match which may explain the supporters staying at home.
