Champions league semi's

[Roopy]

It was Peruzzi in goal last time they won?

Indeed it was - 1996 final.

There former manager Antonio Conte was also in the starting lineup that day.

A lad was telling him he wanted Juve to win as Barca are cheating diving bastards.
Erm....didn't Juve get relegated for match fixing??

 

[Judge Jules]

Absolutely, besides which Filippo Inzaghi began his top-flight career there and, if it's cheating and diving you want, he wrote the flumpin textbook.

Hmmm - wow, long time ago.

Come on Judge ... That is ridiculous ... He wrong the textbook? Yassis.

My friend, I respect your loyalty to La Bella Italia but I stand by that. Inzaghi was very good at what he did, but diving was an integral part of it.

It was some nominal amount like that. I think he looks decent but can't imagine why anyone would be prepared to pay £60m for him.

People pay 50m for Luiz.... so the Twilight Zone is for real.

seville complete a 2 leg thrashing of fiorentina ...

Napoli lose in Ukraine, and are out of Europe too ... Rafa has had a poor year there - will most likely not see CL next year, and has taken the team back after a solid year last year.

There's no manager I'd want more over 2 legs in Europe etc etc.

hamstring injury for Suarez, lucky we sold him 👍

Inzaghi was that player you loved to hate if he was on the opposing team ... but if he was playing for your team, you love him to death.

Yeah he was born offside lol ... & infuriating to watch with his antics & diving ... but you could find no other striker who played with the passion he did, he wanted to win every game.

If his team were 3-0 up & he scored to make it 4-0 he would still celebrate as if it was the winning goal in the World Cup final ... you could never question his love for the game & his ability to stir the passion of the fans in the stands.

Often today fans criticise players for 'lacking passion' & 'playing for money' ... Inzaghi was the complete opposite of that.

And for a striker who had persistent knee injuries he had a very decent goal scoring record for Juve & Milan.
