I understand how u feel, me too hope that we wont get trash by barca in the final. I believe with our defensive ability we might able to contain messi neymar and suarez. At least we have chelini and evra to handle suarez hehe. I got a feeling the final will be decided by penalty shootout but i hate penalty especially juve dont really has a good luck in penalty. Whateva the result is, im glad that we shut up most people which confident that real madrid will proceed to the final, still i wish we will win the final. If we did it then my next target is that i hope we will beat bayern and get back our revenge if we meet them again. Forza juve.

I think for the final, we should take an entry from the old Italian defending textbook. Employ a man to man marking system on Messi. Stick to him like glue. Follow him even to the gents. Give him hell! Ala a Claudio Gentile on Diego Maradona during Italia 90 WC.

While it would essentially make us play with a man down, however, if the man marking system works on that day, it would render Barca a man down as well. That way, we can slog it out 9 v 9. The position I feel we should sacrifice to employ this man to man system would be the Trequerista position. The player doing the man marking should not receive the ball at all as it could disrupt his marking duties. All he needs to do is stick to Messi like glue. When the ball is to come to Messi, foul him, and when he manages to get the ball, battle ramp him, tackle him do whatever it needs to be done. I think thats what Gentile did in that game vs Argentina

Tevez can essentially drop into the position or float between the lines as usual. This is a wild idea but it will be the biggest shock a team can pull since Barca invented the tiki taka back in 2009. What do you guys think? Haha

the last time Pirlo & Buffon were in Berlin back in 2006



hopefully they will kiss another trophy on that ground next month, they really deserved it esp Buffon

Read this... the article dated May 2012. This one really brought emotions to me

End of an era
Today Serie A and Susy Campanale wave goodbye to some of the most representative figures of the last 20 years.

One can’t help but feel this is a watershed moment in Italian football. How fitting that on the same day we should lose stars like Alessandro Del Piero, Pippo Inzaghi, Marco Di Vaio, Alessandro Nesta, Gennaro Gattuso, Clarence Seedorf, Ivan Cordoba, Gianluca Zambrotta and Kakha Kaladze. These are the players many of us grew up watching. Their exit is a reminder of how much time has passed for us all. Il tempo passa...

I fondly recall watching Juventus fight back from 2-0 down to beat Fiorentina 3-2 in 1994 with what remains the greatest goal Del Piero has ever scored. Long ball over the top, he let it go past his shoulder between two defenders and volleyed with the outside of the boot to curl into the top corner. Majestic. “This kid is good,” we all grinned at the television. That was the exact time Juve realised they could afford to let Roberto Baggio go. Maybe Sebastian Giovinco’s wonder strike for Parma last week was the mirror to that moment. Alex leaves on a high and can now teach a new generation in America just how special football can be.

Nesta and Di Vaio are also heading to the MLS, which has become a sort of retirement village for calcio stars who don’t feel ready for a desk job just yet. They will join the likes of Bernardo Corradi and Matteo Ferrari out there in North America. Gattuso’s destination is not yet known, but a return to Glasgow Rangers would indeed be special. He always was a generous soul and to help their rebirth would be typical of Rino. Kaladze hangs up his boots to go into the world of politics, bringing freedom to his native Georgia.

There will be emotional scenes at San Siro and the Juventus Stadium this afternoon. Tears are to be shed throughout the land – even the world – as the stars of our youth say goodbye. I still see the images of when they first appeared on the scene. Nesta before he learned to straighten his hair, Gattuso stomping around clean-shaven like a stroppy toddler, Zambrotta a winger in a Bari jersey and Seedorf with his flailing dreadlocks. The older you get, the faster time seems to move.

Many of them will return to Serie A as Coaches, I am sure of that, but I can’t help feeling they are needed right now. New defenders in particular are hard to come by in Italy and badly require teachers like Nesta.

Arrigo Sacchi and Baggio were put in charge of youth development in the Italian Federation, but imagine an academy of football excellence with classes on defending run by Nesta, Fabio Cannavaro and Paolo Maldini. Gattuso can drive the desire to win at all times, even in a meaningless friendly, into them from an early age. Inzaghi can be professor of being at the right place at the right time, although he might need his own lessons on how to avoid the offside trap. And Del Piero should be their headmaster, an example of how to command respect and admiration from colleagues and opponents alike. Alex leaves Juventus setting that example to the next generation – dignity and class.

Arrivederci, ragazzi.

Andiamo a Berlino!!!

What a game...what a chance we have..Hope Buffon can lift this trophy before he retired...

Any Player will be suspended for final or they will reset it back again??

no red card so no one would be suspended in the final

Good news...no more "nedved" situation hopefully this time we can win this...

iinm UEFA changed some rules regarding the yellow card suspension system. im not really sure what they change but it was to avoid players especially key players missing in the final due to the collective yellow cards under the old rule.

yellow cards from quarter finals are erased
sos

if only this rule applies during the 2003 ucl. nedved would be in the final and who knows we might win this trophy and avoid the penalty shootout.

mentioning penalty shootout, i still felt the bitterness of losing to napoli earlier this season in the supercoppa final , and i really mad at pereyra for missing the decisive shot , thankfully he perform much better after that.

Yup, Nedved was top form at that time, could have won the final against Milan

Juve are always related to Zebra, but after the semi-final i would prefer this beast

btw seems all are now still feeling the hype of going to the UCL finale, a reminder that Juve are playing ANOTHER finale on Wednesday next week

hopefully Allegri didn't follow Conte's philosophy by using a fringe team against Lazio. Its been all too long since the last time Juve had lifted that Coppa...and having another star, SILVER it is on our shirt next season would be nice

But one thing i'd wanted the most are definitely that "Champions Of Europe" badge on the sleeve

away from UCL final hangover



sos

new strike force

Missed this match. Eventhough its a "meaningless" game at the stage of this season but Derby d'Italia is always about a bragging rights

And how good is that Juve keeping the unbeaten record at the Meazza for a couple of season in a row with a B-squad

3 "meaningless" points against the bitter rival. Heck, i take dat any day of the week. Forza Juve

Deal with it...

Fat chances Morata is one of Troll Football page follower

can someone explain the meaning behind the shades?

btw i wana give credit to matri, his superb charge and win the ball resulted the penalty, and morata lucky shot, he himself he scored and godlike save from strorari, too awesome.

im glad that our team played to win, i thought they will be complacent and dont care bout this meaningless match. so i really wish we play with the same spirit in the coppa final. really want that silver star on our shirt. and after that then we talk about winning the ucl

ow btw guys, im not sure is it still a rumor or not but it was reported that we closed a deal for cavanni for 36m pound.

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/57...son-Cavani-Deal

Allegri smartly rested many players, so I'm confident we will go full force

Morata had to refrain from last celebration out of respect, now let it go all out

please no. we are rebuilding for the future. with that kind of money, it's better to get a good CM to replace pirlo & pogba.
