Great result for Juve, but Barcelona have become rather easy to beat away. Can't see Juve pulling a PSG this time, though. I wonder why they always pull some turkish, polish,... refs who are quite unknown. Why not go for Proenca, Clattenburg etc. While they arent great, at least they are big names. With refs like today, it almost feels they are picked because no one would give a shit if they never judged again but they would help barca continue for this particular game.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 It's UEFA and Barcelona so expect the impossible to become possible in Camp Nou. I'm absolutely rooting for Juve though against the forces of darkness. Johnnyeye and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyeye 7,593 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Great job Juventus, now lets hope they dont do a PSG in the 2nd Leg and actually get the job done, lets see how the referee handles this one, expect a lot of Barca play acting and cheating, surrounding the ref, etc... at Camp Nou like they always do when in trouble, we know it better than anyone, what a sad lot they are. Goodluck Juventus, i really want Buffon to win the Champions League this season, this Juventus team is incredible, he lost 2 finals already, maybe 3rd time lucky this time? we´ll see, still a long way to go.

kmk108 1,186 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Some updates: It was a deliberate attack, though it has either not been released or is not known who attacked or why. A letter has been found close to the scene but the details have not been released. Marc Bartra is in surgery for a broken wrist. The match will be played tomorrow. kellzfresh, communicate and Johnnyeye 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,743 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Juventus is not PSG. Barcelona out. My two teams to win it are Bayern and Juventus. Don't want to see Real Madrid win it again. Johnnyeye and communicate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Not surprised at all with barca juventus results. I watched a few of barca game (one El classico and one more). They look very imbalance, heavy top, confuse midfield and error prone back 4. Whenever you press them, you will create tons of chances without even trying.

Special Juan 28,871 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Barcelona had their warning in the PSG away leg and learned nothing from it, this Juventus is a different animal. They got what they deserved last night Barca, now they are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but the link between atrocious refereeing and Barcelona matches is just too consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Pogba, but Juve have not missed one bit this season. When I said last season when we were linked to him that he is a good promising prospect but that he wasn't a finished product or even crucial for Juve some people here attacked me.

I'm saying that the description of Barcelona which you gave here sounds like you could just as easily be describing Man City. That's probably no coincidence. This plays into an argument I often gave in defence of Jose when his brand of football was being attacked by people expressing opinions which I felt were 'illiterate' in a footballing sense. When people railed at Jose to play full on front-foot football with our squad, I would point out that there was no way our players could win playing like that. I argued that you can only win championships that way if your players are miles better than everyone else's, that otherwise tactics were necessary, and that it was tactics which make football interesting. Antonio has a better squad than Jose did but he's no fool, he uses tactics. Pep is "so so happy" that his players dominated possession against us. Lot's of pleasure for him, not so many points for his team. He won everything playing his way at Barca because he had a great team, some say the greatest team ever. It was an extraordinary collection of players but, now that Barca are slipping back from those superhuman levels, they are going to have to play smarter if they want to continue winning titles. City, of course, have not approached those levels yet. Let's hope they never do, and that their coach never mends his ways. Let's hope that we will be able to trust in Pep for as long as we have been trusting in Arsene. Edit: We may not get our wish because City's owners, unlike their Arsenal counterparts, are determined to collect the very best players. If they manage it, then Pep will deliver trophies by the bucket load. If they don't however Pep will have to learn to give more thought to to the way he sets up his team, and to the qualities he looks for in his players. I'm not sure if Pep has yet suffered from the fact that it's less easy to attract the tip top players to Manchester City, and to England in general, than it is to entice them to Barcelona. If he hasn't yet, he will soon enough. Maybe we can put our hopes in that. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
