Juventus face a tough task if they are to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League after suffering a shock loss away to 

Maccabi Haifa inflicted the third defeat of this season's Champions League group stage on Juventus on Tuesday night, with a convincing 2-0 win.

The defeat meant that the Italian side remains third in their group and now faces a tougher task of qualifying for the knockout stages of the competition.

Omer Atzili scored two first-half goals for the Israeli side, Maccabi Haifa to leave Juventus third in Group H with two games left.

Atzili's first came after only seven minutes when Pierre Cornud's cross bounced off Atzili's back and crept in.

The second saw Atzili fire a shot into the top corner after a bright run and pass by team-mate Frantzdy Pierrot.

Juventus only have three points from their four matches, after they had beaten Maccabi Haifa 3-1 at the Allianz Stadium last week.

Massimiliano Allegri's side now have to win at Benfica on 25 October and at home to Paris St-Germain on 2 November to have any chance of making the last 16.

PSG and Benfica drew 1-1 in the other match in the group and are now level on eight points.

For Maccabi Haifa, this was their first Champions League group-stage victory since a 3-0 triumph over Manchester United in October 2002.

Two-time European champions Juventus are also struggling domestically after a 2-0 loss to AC Milan on Saturday left them eighth in Serie A, 10 points behind leaders Napoli.

Kylie Jenner  channeled a siren of the 1990s in her latest sexy promotion for her clothing brand Khy.    The reality star, 27, who posed in a bikini identical to one supermodel Claudia Schiffer wore in 1995, channeled another blonde bombshell for her latest look - Pamela Anderson.    The influencer was dressed in a red halter dress wearing a blonde wig inspired by the former Baywatch star's famous updo, which she wore often in the 1990s. In another nod toward The Last Showgirl star who has taken to stepping out in public makeup-free, Kylie Jenner kept her makeup muted with a soft natural looking lip and subtly shiny eyes. In the video, she seems to be bored while sitting at a table in a hotel room and slowly pushes a glass of wine off the edge and onto the floor where it crashes, breaking the glass and staining the carpet. She then holds up a set of car keys on a red keyholder with Khy written on it in white.  'something’s coming.....
