Yeah comparing Serie A fodder to the current UCL champions.

pls go.

The question shouldn't be whether Madrid will score or not, the question should be what minute will Chiellini's inevitable brainfart occur.

Prediction: It'll happen in the first 35 minutes.

Obviously you don't get that even 30,000 posts in the space of 4 years does not have one compromise their time to such a hyperbolic extent given GL is also on mobile along with half of his responses being more akin to texts than posts, similar to Mole's clever time allocation. Even then the ignorance on display is rather weak, unwarranted and classless and quite frankly I won't tolerate any bullshit directed towards Tom.

We watch out for our own.

Don't worry Tom. Me, Arq, Dante, MT and the rest of G&L security have your back on your match with djfawnz on Extreme Rules

2. They're also aware of something extremely important: The facts that you don't get a Monaco and the worst Dortmund side since 2008 every so often and the possibility of losing key players to bigger clubs. So right now, they're thinking "It's now or never". Teams thinking like that with nothing to lose are the most dangerous of all.

Losing what players to 'bigger clubs'? Only Pogba might leave no one else and Llorente. We are setill left with Vidal, Tevez, Morata, Bonuci, Barzagli,Pirlo + Caceres,Licht,Asamoah, Pereyra ( not world class yet but more than solid players). We are not a small club a, two years in a row we are top earners in European competitions, this one will be the same. We deserved to be here, I don't care who we faced. RM has more quality and are favorites thou

Next summer

Seeing all the "dissing" of this Juventus club, I did some research. Only Madrid, AC Milan and Bayern have been to more CL finals than Juventus. And they were in the finals as recently as 2003. Until last year, when Madrid won, Madrid hadn't been in the finals since 2002. Not a supporter, but Juventus isn't a "small team". Should be two cracking games.

Juve is by no means a small club, but they are indeed a small team.

The difference is their culture and history is not in question, but the level of their current team in relation to Europe's best is.

OK, you won on paper, but not on the field.

Why don't you take some time and compare Juventus players with the other four in the competition and then tell me that there is a substantial difference in quality. I did. There is not that much difference. Is Iniesta that much better than Pirlo? Is Cassilas that much better than Buffon? Is Tevez that less capable any other center forward among the semifinalists? Is Vidal that much less capable than the competition's midfielders, or Pigba? Go through the line up and then make your decision.

Juvi is a very solid team but their lack of speed and creativity upfront is a glaring weakness. Sure Tevez is great this year, and Moratta has his moments, but unlike the other 3 teams Juve doesnt have a Robben or a Messi, a real difference maker who would produce a moment of magic and win a close match.

Ok, I get it. You are an Inter supporter and from what I have read there is bad blood between the two clubs. But, is Pogba, for example, that less capable than even Robben or Messi to make the difference in a tight game? Or a Pirlo free kick? I may be shown to be a rank amateur after the series of games, but I don't think there is that much difference.

No one doubts they have a great midfield. The issue is everywhere else.

Defense: Madrid > Barca > Bayern > Juve
Forwards: Barca > Madrid = Bayern >>>>> Juve
Coach: Bayern > Madrid > Juve > Barca

They are rightfully regarded as the underdog. That doesn't mean they're a bad team at all.

They have the worst defence wat?

I'd say they have the best defence actually...It's not all about the individuals

PS: I think from what we have seen of him, Messi is at least equal to Allegri.

juve with a worse defense then bayern please go

Da fuq is this lmao

Our midfield is great, when fit.

Our defence is great. But unlike other clubs we don't have front 3's full of World Class players, we have one man who's had a WC season in Tevez and a still unproven young Morata or a shit donkey Llorente. And that's going to prove to be the difference most likely

Have all the great defenders and midfielders you want, but we don't have a number of attackers who can decide games at the highest level in the blink of an eye.

Pfft let the haters talk trash about Juve this is what makes it even sweeter when we win. All those fan boys dissing the league, talking trash about us getting relegated....Sticking it up them is what makes it brilliant to be a Juve fan at the moment. Games are played on the pitch not on paper as displayed by Porto's surprise 3-1 win at home to Bayern the other week which no one would have predicted. Madrid might have the best attack in the world bar Barca's front three but guess what we have one of the best defences and defence and tactics is just as important as a strong attack and flair and fancy.

In Pirlo and Euromax I believe. Hala Juventus.

Even with all the injuries RM remain the favorites and rightfully so.

We miss that last piece of the jigsaw that would make Juve complete team, may that be wingers or AM and/or one creative CM.

Just rewatched the home game last season. Illarra, Khedira, Modric in midfield Carlo doing his best Mourinho impression

I agree. Real Madrid are the underdogs. Juve are simply the favorites. No doubt.

We call them Pathetico for a reason.

+1, Although, maybe not THAT optimistic hehehe . The game will be decided on the field. RM has the upper hand on paper but doesn't mean it will translate on them winning the tie. Hell, a W1-0 in Turin and a L 2-1 in Madrid is enough for Juventus to go through.
