I agree with this.
If he was mind set in starting Pirlo, cool.
But he should have taken him out earlier in 2nd half and intruded pereyra, switching cheesio to the regista role. I knew barcelona was going to have more poseesion and we needed younger legs and cohesion.
Well, pirlo was never going to be benched. Thats life
Well we all knew it was destined for him to play. In part, im happy that next year finally Marchisio will be used as regista.
Better times will come with Pirlo leaving

Allegri should have replaced Pirlo with sturaro when we equalised, and played the anti madrid formation
THEN, when he decided vidal needed to go off to avoid beeing send off, he could have introduced Pereyra
Its offcourse easy and pathetic of me to say this after the game, cause if we scored a pirlo freekick during it, i'd have praised allegri instead
Rocked last year's away jersey, with this legend's name splashed across the back. It wasn't his night, but I'll always be grateful for all that he's done for Juventus, and proud that he was a fundamental part of our club. Grazie per tutti, Andrea!
Totally felt the same. I just want to wrap my arms around this guy, and thank him for everything he's given to us.
I don't think it was totally wrong to play him -- he was always going to start this match, and he can decide a match at anytime. But honestly, he probably could have been subbed at half. We needed a spark, and I thought the added stability with Marchisio, and the boost to counters with Pereyra was the ticket. I was quite happy with the scoreline at half.
After 60 minutes, I totally thought we were going to roll them. I was dying for Pereyra, for a little more stability and freedom for the other CMs. There's no way Andrea should have played 90+ tonight.
This obviously hurts terribly, but I gotta stress how proud I am of our guys, of how they fought back after going down early. I still think the club is building something very special here!

Knowing this is his last game here hurts as bad as DPs last game. Not because they are the same but because the two of them are generational or lifetime players. We don't come across many like them in our lifetime and seeing them leave hurts like bloody hell.
Thank you Andrea. You are a God amongst mortals. Good luck on your next endeavor.

I really think he fulfilled his cycle with us.
Keeping him for nostaliga and shids will only hurt our midfield.
If he wasnt to stay and be Marchisio´s bench, then fine---- but in no way we should be starting crunch CL with a 37 years old midfielder.... it doesnt matter if he is Pirlo.
No, fuking, way.
