Better chances than to park the bus and barely enter their 16m. box.

They didnt park the bus they were pinned in as Real started keeping the ball a lot lot better and started to match the aggression of Atletico.

Their pressing from front dropped a bit as whole dynamic of tie had changed and Real had woken up and impossible to keep that up whole game anyway.

Juve will have to play like they did against us in Turin if they want to stand a chance against Real.

Real just have way too many clinical players to sit back and defend against.

Juventus defend better and attack better as well. They also put pressure on you. Very hard team to play against.

That's not what I saw. I saw a team that pressed Madrid and scored 2 goals on the back of that pressure, and after that they just went turtle mode, all defense, and made a blunder which has ruined their chances. Madrid played better after going behind 2 goals, but much of the game after the pen was influenced by Simeone going defensive and trying to keep the 2-0 until risking it all out later in the game to score the 3rd.

Of course thats what folk are seeing as they dont want to give any influence on the game to Real. As always.

This forum massively overrates Juve and massively underrates RM.


RM are probably the most effective attacking team I've ever seen ('ve been watching this sport since 97-98). The fact we managed to beat them was a testament to how great Messi is.


Juve are a strong team yes, but we should've beat them if we had a solid gameplan. Plus they took their chances in the first leg so credit to them. RM has taken their chances in nearly EVERY match this season. That's unheard of for any world class team. FFS, they have a B team that could easily get into the starting 11 for us or Bayern.

I give plenty of credit to Madrid. But Atletico went defensive after going 2-0 up. Much of that was their own choice.

They did go a bit more defensive as only needed one goal to go level. Keeping it open vs this Real who could see had woken up was never going to happen and Real would pick them off.

I don't know why I trusted that AM chokers that they had a chance. 2:0 and then fu so much. How on earth they let Benzema so? And when Oblak made that miracle save Isco is f alone on 5m.

Only one word for that ... IDIOTS. F idiots...

I can see them breaking Neymar or Messi legs when thwy would try to pull off things like Benzema did. But noooo... 3 ofthem looking at F Benzema...

What a bunch of useles and idiotic loosers.
