Will bayern's defense still be out in the 2nd leg? if so they could give up a goal at home but bayern too strong going forward at home.

Juventus showed too much respect for Bayern in the first half. Not trying to take away anything Bayern did and yes they absolutely dominated the first half, but I think it was due to Allegri's own tactical design that he wanted to defend and wear them down first. Juventus is capable of doing much better than what they displayed in the first half which was pathetic.

But Bayern had the better chances. Müller, Robben, Bernat in the first half alone.
And the pen is debatable, Vidal had his arm shot on in a natural position from a distance of 1,5m and didnt move his hand towards the ball, the ball moved towards his arm isntead. He should be a gk if he did that on purpose.
You should really watch the game, you'd know what I mean

I don't know man, to me Vidal did look like he was trying to purposely block the ball, to me it was a clear handball

Looks more like Pogba simply shot and hit his hand which was in an absolute natural stance and doesn't make any movement towards the ball. From that distance it's also pretty unlikely that he could react to to it and move his hand away. The handball-rule is shady af, there are enough paragraphs justifying this. In the end there are refs who call that, and there are refs who don't. This guy didn'ta and that's correct to many and incorrect to others.

Martinez started running yesterday. He was just out 3 weeks so he will not need much time to come back into team training. And Benatia got his first minutes after his injury, too. So yes, two of the normal central defenders will be back.

All do talk about the handball situation of Vidal - but there was a situation with Lewy in the first minutes when a penalty could be given to Bayern, too, some referees would have given.

Cases such as the one above should never be penaldos. The defending player has no time at all to take his arm/hand away from the approaching ball. Moreover, if such incidents are routinely given as penaldos, then you are creating the perverse incentive of players aiming for the arms of defenders whenever they get the chance. Football will become about finding your opponents arms inside the penalty box rather than finding the back of the net.

Juventus totally lacked intensity or even a coherent defensive shape in that first half. Bayern dominated them with great ease. It was extremely disappointing from Juventus. They improved markedly after the Dybala goal and Bayern deteriorated. But the damage has largely been done to Juve, they need a minor miracle to go through.

Arsenal on the other hand, demonstrated high intensity and concentration levels against us, which makes our latest "Big Game" victory that much more impressive!

In my opinion Lewandowski took advantage of the fact that the Juventus defender pulled him and fell to the ground in a pretty theatrical manner, trying to looking for a penalty.

Damn, my national TV is broadcasting Dynamo Kyiv - Manchester City. I would much rather watch Atlético, even though both pairs are weak when you compare them to yesterdays.

Fjørtoft makes me sick. Hate his guts.

 

[Horatio]

PSV - Atletico. Let's go! =)

It's hilarious to watch his fights with Rune, though. They just love to disagree with each other, especially when it comes to Messi and Ronaldo.
