hopefully not

just finished watching the delayed Valencia-Juve match, eventhough Juve could/should've killed the match
in the opening 20 minutes with chances to Mandzukic, Khedira & Matuidi

but i'm glad the 10man Juve grind out a result in one of renowned venue in European football (Mestalla)

still think that the red card, the 2nd penalty on Valencia and the penalty against Juve were quite harsh. This ref....smh

the red card was indeed harsh... ronaldo deserves a yellow at most... people used to say ronaldo is protected by referees for his poor antics in the UCL.. well, the truth has been revealed, UEFA protects real and barca not ronaldo. so if you play for either of them, chances of getting a free pass is always higher... as for the rest of the clubs. nope we dont get this "special rights"

anyway kudos to the team for emerging vicotorious away at a difficult venue. it could have been worse playing with 10 men but we did not crumble

indeed. And also credits to the entire Juve defense, all of em from Szczesny,Bonny,Chiello,Cancelo,Sandro, solid.
Esp Szcesny with the save to preserved Juve's clean sheet.

and looks like Costa getting somekind of injury near the end of the match...hopefully nothing serious

can appeal to cancel the card right? why dont see any news of appealing? 3 games if red right :/

Which country the officials are from?

German ref

The encounter is worthless with no ronaldo

The same ref that dismissed cuads

love us or hate us, this pic worth a thousand words

my personal caption, "get up, the battle is not over yet, and we'll fight till the end"

and indeed they did

can appeal but 9.5 out of 10 times it will not be overruled. the referee got it wrong but i will be contended with a one match ban (if appeal successful else three).. a three match ban will be blasphemy

sums it up nicely... fede really stepped up by showing grit, mental strength and leadership and seems to have struck a better understanding with ronaldo than dybala.. another spot on scouting by marotta , paratici and scouting gang as usual

straight red usually 3 direct.. 1 ban is for double yellow if not wrong. read this mrng uefa instead of reviewing to cancel. says will relook to increase to 4 games ban. lol wtf. i hope can lift the ban so he can come back ot to play

ya straight red is 3. if appeal successful 1 game ban... but with UEFA, unless we are real or barca the appeal will not be successful

increase to 4? are they mad or what

1 match ban, we're all still okay about that

but when u saw Parejo foul (kicking Cancelo's face, albeit unintentionally), and only got yellow for that, made u question if Cris really deserved a red card, let alone 3 match ban

hopefully this Felix guy wouldn't officiating any UCL matches anytime soon, esp Juve matches

IMO, all of Juve players did well against Valencia. But the standout performer are definitely Berna

saw his flicks atleast 2-3 times lifting up the ball to get away from Valencia players. And to think this guy can only get better

i know its still too early to say this, but Berna can be our next Marchisio. Not in term of playing style/position etc, but in terms of leading
figure in Juve lineup

Bernardeschi and Cancelo - these guys are beasts!

The rest of the team was awesome as well and I'm liking what I see.

Juve did enough, and i gotta say some "lady luck" did smiled on us last night. All the deflection leading to Cristiano goal, and the counter attack that led to Berna's goal b4 the assist of Pjanic (who also got ball bouncing on him b4 the assist)

but its unfair to call all of that luck, bcoz those 2 goals from the hard works of the entire team.

Haha finally ronaldo hit his stride

Man, Bernardeschi and Ronaldo have shown chemistry in these first 5 games. I kinda feel bad for Dybala; I was expecting him to link up more with Ronaldo.

Fede is really stepping up his game. At this rate, there's no surprise if Dybala will be sold by end of the season. Cuads is such a downgrade comparing with Cancelo.
