For the most part of the first 55 mins Juve were forced back because Allegri uncharacteristically got it very wrong, particularly on the wings. We needed proper defensive fullbacks with proper wingers in front of them to stop Bayern's strength which comes mainly from Robben and Ribery. He did make a couple of excellent subs though that salvaged some hope. 

Underestimated the coach the game or were Bayern that great?!
That's always the question, imo...

I think Bayern were unbelievable good:
Juve couldn't cope with their pressing, couldn't hold on to the ball, they were dominated in their own backyard,
especially during the first half, their strikers were cut-off, Pep got his tactics spot on, in the end one could say men against boys!
So i disagree with your assessment, they were all over the place, it's not only about their wings, imo.

I get your idea, but with all due respect, i don't think Allegri could have fielded a different team, guys like Alex Sandro aren't available right now, at least that's my understanding.
What could Allegri have done differently? Staying higher up the pitch, but what is it good for when you can't keep the ball?
For example Pogba on the wing isn't that bad, imo, he's young and can run, did they had a better option?
So honestly speaking, i don't know.. Bayern's passing is on a different level, imo, Juve can't do a thing against it, imo.
They created chance after chance, attacking, attacking and attacking, monsters...

Juve recovered, yes, Allegri's substitutions worked wonders, he got the draw, but in my point of view that won't be good enough.
Maybe that's arrogant, but i think in the end Bayern gave it away cheaply, some very bad mistakes by Lahm and especially Kimmich led to the goals.
Bayern are strong at home, unbeaten for a very long time and i don't see how Juve can get a result, Juve have to win this one and i don't see it happening,
yes, the result is a draw, but taking 90 minutes into consideration, Bayern is much better, imo.

One of the best matches i have seen from his Bayern side. Simply breathtaking...

City are being dressed up again in the media this morning as being 'Outstanding' last night....They played Dynamo Kyiv for fucks sake.

But they were the only English team to win - so expect a load of bollocks :)

if we can turn PSG over (which I think we can) - I would imagine us and City will make it into the next round, as long as we avoid each other, good chance to make some decent progress :)

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi (Paris Saint-Germain Chairman and CEO)
"We played a good match. After the loss to Lyon, we showed Paris Saint-Germain's true face. It's important for the confidence, because we have a very important match next week against Chelsea. Now we need to recover so we can prepare well for our next two matches."

Javier Pastore (Paris Saint-Germain midfielder)
"It was a cup match, and everyone wanted to win it. The important thing was that we came out on top. Now we're into the semis. For the confidence, it's great to have won and, personally, I'm very happy to have played. I'm getting back into the rhythm. It's great for the team to win before we take on Chelsea, but we still have a match to take care of on Saturday…"

Dudes at PSG already thinking about the CL match. They are obsessed with us like a drugs.

Read this article please. It's absolutely disgusting, sorry. 

"The Champions League doesn't NEED Leicester"

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/mar/04/champions-league-leicester-relevent-sports-charlie-stillitano

They want to create a separate competition breaking away from the CL that would allow the biggest teams to compete every year. Chelsea is part of the talks. 

“What would Manchester United argue: did we create soccer or did Leicester create [it]?” said Stillitano, who met United’s executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, on Tuesday. “Let’s call it the money pot created by soccer and the fandom around the world. Who has had more of an integral role, Manchester United or Leicester? It’s a wonderful, wonderful story – but you could see it from Manchester United’s point of view, too.”

“This is going to sound arrogant and it’s the furthest thing from it … but suddenly when you see the teams we have this summer in the ICC you are going to shake your head and say, ‘Isn’t that the Champions League?’” Stillitano said. “No, the Champions League is PSV and Ghent.”

This is so insulting since PSV actually BEAT MAN UTD TO REACH THE SECOND ROUND.

Fuck this fucking shit, if you want to play in the CL, WIN THE FUCKING LEAGUE
