I'm definitely rooting for a Juve win tonite. I like how u guys played again Madrid in the semi finals. Solid defense and the quick counter with Tevez which led to the penalty. Your midfield is solid too with the quartet of Pirlo, Marchisio, Pogba and Vidal.
Go and teach Barca a lesson! |

tbh, I think it shud be a penalty for Juve in the build up to Barca's 2nd goal. Alves had his arm all around Pogba wrestling him. How the ref did not see that was absurb. Pogba a big lad just going to ground? This is not Suarez/Neymar we're talking bout. I dun recall Pogba having any diving incident before.
It was a hard fought defeat. But I think Juve can take pride in the defeat. If it wasn't for the early lapse of concentration that allow Rakitic to score. Damn. |

QUOTE(noir7559 @ Jun 7 2015, 02:22 PM) well, IMO the officiating has been quite sub-par for the final Yea. Vidal could have received his second yellow too. Pogba was quite aggressive too. Feisty game I must say. Good for neutral viewers like me. but i'm not the one to complaining seeing on any other night Juve could've been playing with 10-man..but yups..its true they say football is not for the weak-hearted.. Esp for a passionate fans like us prior to this season Juve have been labeled a "flop" in Europe..well, since they already made a "statement" this season..by the start of UCL next season i think we'll probably in the top 5 favorites to win the UCL after Barca,Bayern,Real & Chelsea   QUOTE(zaidi @ Jun 7 2015, 02:28 PM) Still feeling sore over the ref missing the penalty. The outcome might be different if the penalty was awarded. Same here. I thot Pirlo did not played to his strength or his best this morning. Whenever he has the ball, Busquet, Rakitic all close down on him damn quick. Pirlo has no time to look up and play a through ball. But that first time ball to Pogba was superb. One touch and he released Pogba up front. Anyway Juve still exposed. Putting Pirlo was bad mistake. He can't function without the ball. A defensive Vidal + Marchisio and attacking Pogba / Perayra is better. When Juve got the ball, the forwards will just close Pirlo, and Juve had to opt for long balls, which seldom works. Finishing was bad, but still ok since we did created many chances. Morata started to become good poacher, now we really need good no 10 and Pirlo backup. Tevez might play another year or two, maybe we have good alternative in Dybala, so expectations on him is very high. Good backup defenders and midfielders also help. In 97 or 98 if we lost defender due to injury we can still lough it off. Seems not the case this time. Nvm, u guys got Dybala in the bag now. I've heard rumors bout Tevez moving to Atletico as he wants to work under Simeone. Now that Dybala is signed, Tevez might be on his way out?  |
