#1 The artificial turf
The quality of play in professional football is greatly affected by the playing surface, and it is with this in mind top clubs do their utmost to ensure that their playing fields are in great conditions, with professional groundsmen being hired to keep the pitch in pristine state at all times.
Natural grass is the preferred turf of play for professional footballers, and as such almost all the biggest clubs in the world have natural fields, with artificial turfs becoming a thing of the past, as the dangers associated with the laid out artificial surface include high risk of injuries to players, as well as difficulty in controlling the tempo of the ball.
However there are still middle level clubs in Europe who make use of artificial pitches, and Young Boys happens to be one of those, and the turf could be seen to affect Juventus, particularly in the early stages of the match where the players struggled to take charge of proceeding until they settled into their rhythm, with Juventus losing Juan Cuadrado to injury early on.
Juventus lost fair and square against Young Boys (although there could be some debate about the penalty), but the Italians might feel that the result could have been different had the match been played on a natural surface.
