The referee will be an important factor in the return leg. When Juventus won 3:0 against Barcelona, one of the reasons why it was possible was that the referee didn't show the usual sympathy for them since they were too toxic after that weird refereeing during a "miraculous" comeback against...

Yes, that's what I thought too, since I don't remember conceding a lot of goals after free kicks recently.

It was actually quite funny how Bonucci half-opened his face to see what happened next and then covered it with palms and started to show how badly he was hurt only when he realized it was a goal. I hate it when defenders trying to exaggerate small fouls against them hoping that the referee...

Allegri: "Atleti do this all the time, they make you play in bland fashion. We didn’t concede on moves, because Atletico don’t really score those goals. They score on the counter and on set plays. The difference was that they are accustomed to this type of game and we are not." - FI. Wait...

Even before tonight, they were humiliated in a Coppa game against Atalanta, a team similar to Atletico. Did they react? No. Why? I can think of only one option: they need to win only Serie A. Everything else would be nice, but nothing more. If they really wanted to win Champions League, they...

He got to this 14-point advantage as a result of using strategy he chose to use. Now, I think, he cannot quickly rebuilt the team for a completely different tournament. Especially with all those injuries.

Defensively De Sciglio in his current form is clearly better than Cancelo. Costa would've probably be more happy if he had the chance to play against Cancelo tonight. Could've Cancelo shifted the focus of play a little bit higher if he were on the pitch? Maybe yes. But if the answer is "no"...

At home Juventus have to be ready to score 4 (I don't believe in this midfield's and defense's ability to hold Atletico attacking players). Even 2:0 is not an option, since this team is physically so weak that they will be surely destroyed in the extra-time should it happen. So, 4 goals...

Max's plan before the game was correct. Without proper midfield (he even lost Khedira, who many of us might not like, but he's an important part in Max's logic) and knowing about counter-attacking potential of Atletico, he had to field MDS - Bonucci - Chiellini - AS in defense. Plus it gave him...

Does anyone know, other big clubs also do these pathetic promos implying "we're here to win it all"? It's like bragging about what you don't have yet, a very cheap move. And as a club with such a history of failures in this tournament, maybe Juventus should be a little bit more humble? Because...

In addition to mediocre midfield now we've got to admit another problem - the best CBs in the squad are getting less and less reliable as a monolith unit. Of course, it's partially due to the load they have to carry due to nonexistent midfield, but it seems like there's something wrong with them...

Simeone completely outplayed Max. Atletico started the game exactly like every other Juventus opponent do: gave away the ball, no pressing, very slow and calm. But at some point they completely changed, switched to the aggressive and ruthless mode. Juventus were already serene and confident that...

I hope Max told Bentancur at least a thousand times to be careful and refrain from collecting yellow cards tonight.
