Champions League 2016/17

[serghei]

We lost to Alaves at Camp Nou and barely beat Leganes at Camp Nou this season. One historical comeback bumped up so many people's expectations as if we were the king the world. The loss to Deportivo shows we are still the same old team that has many problems, despite having a better formation in 3-4-3.

Seriously, Juventus is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better than PSG, from the manager to the players.

Juventus is not much better than PSG regarding the players. It's about experience, history, tradition and everything around being a big club.

To me they are. Certainly a much much better goalkeeper and defense, midfield is better too.

Anyway, nice that the decisive game is on Camp Nou at least, with the condition to show up in Turin. We have to play well enough there to win it on Camp Nou with 90.000 fans behind us.

We need at least a crucial away goal, even if we lose in Turin. Without that away goal, even a 0-0 at Turin is not a good result.

Doesn't make any sense. A 0-0 is better than any loss, with or without goals scored. I'd take a 0-0 right now for the away game.

both real have got tough draws but if you want to play these teams it's now. Get them out the way now and see what happens.

I have memories from 2003 UCL 1/4finals. But we were very bad those days, and Juve eliminate us after extra time...
1:1 in Torino, then 1:2 at Camp Nou after ET.

Still remember Xavi's goal.Was rooting for Juve in the final

Juve players also have a lot of experience. They're not weak minded like psg players and their coach. That 6-1 would never happen to a team like Juve.

But they have collapsed like they did against Bayern and we won against them in 2015. So we have the mental edge, but it depends on whether the players have the desire and match the one of the Juve players.

They better do, because you cannot make a comeback like you did against PSG and not go all the way. Would be very anticlimactic.

 

[Vilarrubi]

I just think Juve haven't come up against anything like us all season. Especially our front 3.. I expect Neymar to be on fire again after the comeback.

I wonder who did Uncle Flo piss off around UEFA! Probably the money transfer didn't get there on time.

Nah, UEFA warmed up wrong Madrid ball.

Game will be won or lost in the midfield.
Our RB is crucial though.

 

[serghei]

Good thing is that Juventus is less likely to apply a high-pressing tactic. They are more the kind of team who would look to snatch a 1-0 win at home, than one who would press looking to score many goals. That works in our advantage. Bad thing is that, like Atletico, Juventus can be very hard to score against. They know how to defend and have the weapons to hurt you in attack.

 

[MagIX]

Against Juventus will be 50/50, we must not delude ourselves, absolutely not easy draw.
Juventus is a very strong team, great team spirit, and typical of strong Italian teams, very clever, they know how not make playing the opponent , tactically very very strong.
We will have to do an outstanding performance for 180 minutes.
Even Bayer - Real will be 50/50. The thing that gives me hope is Ancelotti. Two years ago, Real won thanks to Ancelotti.

It is a good draw.Only Leicester and Monaco would have been easier draws.Maybe Dortmund too but not sure.
