Iively start.

I'm only watching because I'm bored and stuck in a hotel in Warrington with nothing else to do.

Yes Juve!!!!!!
 
1-1 Ronaldo header from point blank.

It's nice to watch a game where you have a preference on who you want to win, but ultimately don't really give a shit.
 
Good game to watch.

Had to laugh when Chiellini cleaned out Ronaldo in the last minute to prevent a counter. Just what you'd want your player to do.

Was thinking earlier today that we used to be in Champions League semi finals. Gutting.

agree. good match. i was pleasantly surprised by Moratta. I did not expect him to be as good as he was - he performed well against good opposition. Has reasonable pace, great strength and a bit of bite about him. looks like we missed out there.
 
Good result for Juventus, and one that was much needed for Italian football in general.

Still fancy Real to do the job in the 2nd leg ... got the crucial away goal.
 
Impressive turnaround by Juve. Relegated in 2006 with points deficit. League Champions by 2012. Now a very impressive display in the CL semi final. Managed to retain all of their stars also through the process.

Yep ... a club that's run very impressively.

They went through a rough patch when they were promoted back to Serie A, thanks mostly to their useless DoF Alessio Secco, who signed the likes of Momo Sissoko, Christian Poulsen, Diego - useless.

Once they got rid of him and brought in Guiseppe Marotta as DoF they recruited very well & are now exactly where they should be in terms of Italy & Champs League - bringing in the likes of Vidal, Pogba, Pirlo, Tevez, Llorente, Lichtsteiner etc.
 
Count me out of the Juve love-in. I have cousins in Malta who support them and I'll never hear the end of it if they win this.

Agreed. That's why the current scenario is unacceptable to me. We have not one single person at the club with the experience to get us back in there regularly. Finish 2nd, go into CL group, get made to look stupid, drop into EL, get made to look stupid, finish 5th or worse. Everyone at the club needs to raise their game.

Not only that but we don't want England to lose that 4th CL spot .... regardless of how some on here see that 4th spot. Better Italian / French teams fare badly in both CL & EL.
 
To be honest I wouldnt mind if everyone lost their 4th place spot.

And their 3rd and 2nd as well.

And it went to a situation whereby the Champions league was contested, only, by clubs who actually were champions.

Wel that's never going to happen in reality so best not even bother to debate it !

The reality is that the CL is a humongous money-making enterprise that we'd best be part of if this club wants to go forward.
 
HT Barca 0-0 Bayern

What A Match. Barca have been magnificent and should be romping this. It's a crime that this match is only 90 mins, I want at least 120 mins for each leg !
 
Simply the best ever. Outrageous. 77 Champions League goals at 27 years of age, too.
 
That 2nd goal by Messi!

Poor by Guardiola tonight. Bayern were suicidal in the first 15mins.
 
Fantastic performance from Barca and the score doesn't flatter them, on chances they could have won this 8 or 9-2 but Bayern had only one shot on target and that was a wild deflection off Iniesta !

What a match and what an incredible team Barca are ... to say nothing of the genius of Messi.
 
That 2nd goal by Messi!

Poor by Guardiola tonight. Bayern were suicidal in the first 15mins.

And yet, although they should have conceded 3 or 4 in that first 15 mins it was still 0-0 so he had a chance to rectify it (and did, going to a flat back 4) however I doubt any team could have lived with the brilliance of Barca / Messi this evening.
 
Messi made Boateng look like a grade A tit on that second goal.
To dink it over the best keeper on the planet is just simply taking the piss.
 
Sorry people, Messi isn't the best in the world. That is Ronaldo. Messi is from another world - the way he beat Neuer - the best goalie in the world - on his 1st shot ... and that 2nd goal? I mean wow. Fucking hell, he's just incredible.
