atletico madrid...
I predict its either us or them to win 1 nil over two legs... or at most 2-1
Diego Godin is the only defender to be more on the winning side against a C Ronaldo team. He has also successfully prevented him from scoring more than any other defender in europe.... and that was the ronald that was at real scoring goals for fun... with us i would predict ronaldo will not score against atletico... probably a mandzu or a dybala goal to settle things

I think I echo the consensus that we've got an amazing strike force creating tons of shots on goal and not to mention pretty commanding midfield holding possession but the finishing touch is lacking. 1-0 wins, while still wins are quite worrying especially in UCL knock-out stages.
I'm honestly not sure what's the problem, Allegri seems to have gotten it right for 95% of the time, it's the 5% finishing touch that's somehow lacking.
Maybe playing Dybala, Mandzukic and Ronaldo together is counter productive? Like someone said in an earlier post, we're just waiting to get ripped apart if we continue like this in the UCL.
Maybe time for that 'wake-up' call we usually get which makes us switch gears and go for the jugular?

Diego Simone breeds at Intermerda, so it's natural he brought italian defensive game

I'm still not worried about 1-0s debacle. Remember when we need to score 3 goals vs Real Madrid last April, Juve went and conquer SantBernabau. So, when Juve need to go all out, the players will go all out.
the match vs Young Boys and late goal vs ManU might prove otherwise, but Juve don't have good record on UCL group match anyway.
well, i'm still crossing fingers bcoz as impressive as Cristiano goal scoring record in UCL, his tally usually gets better during the knockout stage
lets hope he'll prove me right in the Atletico encounter...even though i'm betting more on Mandzukic to score against his former team, the man for big occasions
the same with Juve. Like zaidi said, usually Juve did just "enough" in the group stage & after that we're saw a different Juve in the KO stage
some of the outstanding result were the 0-3 win at Dortmund, 4-2 loss against Bayern in Munich (Juve should've been 3-0 up if not for referring error), 2-1 at London against Spurs..
and then that 3-1 at Bernabeu last year
much can change in 2 months time so lets hope for the best
