Did you see the memes people are already making? They're cutting and pasting Allegri's head on the photo of Simeone's crotch celebration from the first leg. Bloody hilarious man.
Good question about how often we'll see Juve play like this. I mean, tonight the evidence is as clear as day, we
CAN play like this. I mean, everyone was top notch, if I
had to nit pick, maybe Mandzukic was having a bit of an off night, but even then he had to be subbed off due to a knock he took in the second half. Just hope we continue like this till the end of the season, 3 months to go!!
Just some other observations:
Dybala - even coming on late, still managed to influence the game with superb play and skills, outmanoeuvring Atletico players. I'd love to see him score more but it seems like he's really growing in this sort of play-maker role Allegri has him in.
Bernadeschi - what a game tonight, that run especially that earned the penalty. Such a workhorse.
Kean - Would've been an instant LEGEND had he scored on his opportunity. He would've sealed the game I think.
Chiellini - And this goes for the rest of the defence - SOLID. But I think he could do without the antics at the end especially provoking Morata an ex- team mate.
Spinazzola - Great game and worked so hard he had to be subbed off coz he was out of breath. At one point, I noticed he was on the sidelines drinking water during game-play. Allegri and another official like motioned for him to get back in the game haha.
It was such a complete game by the team, hard to actually pick any faults.
By the way, in other news, Man City beat Schalke 7-0? Are those guys even from this planet?
They might be relegated from the league lol. Less than 5 pts from the danger zone iinm.
