Playing the first at the Stadium is great for us. I haven't been following too closely this season, but as far as I know our performance improves a lot at home. We have been disappointing away.

In tournaments, playing the 2nd match at home isn't necessarily an advantage per se.

The general rule is that when a team gets a favourable result in the first match, this team goes to advance the vast majority of times. Reversing a negative result at the first match, either at home or away, is always the exception.

In our case, if the first game were away, given our poor perfomances when out, chances would be Barcelona would build a good or very good result, practically sealing their qualifying to the semis.

On the other hand, at home Juve has a decent shot at having a first good result, or at least decent, and go to Camp Nou with chances. That's what we want.
We've played better in away games this season in the CL.

I am starting to think that Lichtsteiner is necessary in the game in Turin.
Dani will be pumped, unless he pulls a Tevez

Im guessing the ref will be very lenient exactly due to suspensions, Licht might have to put on a serious show to get Neymar carded.

What the chances well get that Turkish ref again.

I am confident. For some reason I have the same confidence I had in 2015 when we played Real in 1/2 final. Its a 50/50 tie, maybe 51/49 for them only for that MSN attack, but we can make life hard for them thats for sure.

I think that Mandzu and Sandro will be crucial for this one. Cuadrado too, especially in the second leg if we manage to win at the first. Higuain and Pjanic need to step up big time, I think its about time for Pjanic to score a screamer free kick. :D

Forza Juve! We can do this guys! :flag1:

I don't think they will. They said in a statement recently that the boycott will last until the end of the season.

I'm pretty sure they'll still support on away games though.
Some hardcore fans they are. The second biggest match ever played at the stadium after 2015 CL semifinals they're going to stay home. Way to show support for the club you supposedly live for.

What is this about, club not funding their choreos? :lol: Here in Germany ultras go around the stadium with begging bowls before every match and that's how money for choreos is raised

It's like they spend their time during the week in top secret laboratories researching and experimenting new chants and they want to be funded for that painstaking work.

I've been a diehard fan for over 20 years and haven't received a single penny from the club. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
