Leonardo Bonucci conceded the jeers from Juventus fans were deserved in the Champions League defeat to Benfica, leaving the Bianconeri captain worried by a situation that needs to be changed .
Juve needed just four minutes to take the lead in Turin as Arkadiusz Milik headed in, only for Joao Mario to restore parity with a first-half penalty.
David Neres secured a deserved three points for Roger Schmidt s side after the interval, with Dusan Vlahovic seeing a goal ruled out for offside and Bremer blasting over as Juve looked to snatch a late equaliser.
That left Juve with just one win in seven European outings against Benfica, who sit level on points with Paris Saint-Germain at the top of Group H after the Ligue 1 side overcame Maccabi Haifa 3-1 on Wednesday.
Defeat also marked the first time Juve have lost their opening two games in the competition s group stage, while it is the first occasion they have lost three games in a row in the European Cup or Champions League since September 1972.
Pressure continues to mount on coach Massimiliano Allegri after just one win in Juve s last seven games, and Bonucci offered an honest appraisal after yet another frustrating performance at the Allianz Stadium.

The whistles are right. There is little to say. We have lost a game that we absolutely shouldn t have lost, the Italy international told Amazon Prime Video.
It is right that we are booed. I am the captain who must put my face to it. We are going through a moment where we find it hard to do everything.
I m worried, there is nothing to hide. Unfortunately, we leave the game too often. I don t know why and that s the thing that worries me the most.
We struggle to keep the games constant. Now there is little to say, we just have to shut up, work and look forward.
I think it is a situation that needs to be changed certainly. We have many players out, we are always playing the same ones and you feel the fatigue. It is everyone s fault.
Juve remain without a point after two Group H games in the Champions League, and will look to make amends on the return to Serie A action at Monza on Sunday.
