Ozil and Lewandowski owning the defenders :tup: Too bad Lewa's one didn't end with a goal. That was Bergkampesque. Ozil's move to get rid of the keeper was also fantastic. Most players would have shot from there.

That was a nice skill. Guy hit 2 x the crossbar and a post on top of his 2 goals. :D

I managed to troll whole Napoli team so hard today!

As you know, they are in Istanbul for Beşiktaş match, and i brought my black&white #9 Higuain Juve shirt. I'm a fake Beşiktaş fan, and i only have Juventus shirts anyway...
After the match, we were just going home, traffic was a state normally in Istanbul, and we just found ourselves next to the Napoli team bus :D

For more then 5 minutes, whole Napoli team watched me from their bus, i just yelled "Alla Juve" and showed Higuain shirt to them, my friend sounded horn constantly, some stupid cop asked me to stop, and i told them that i'm chanting for their best player ever, Higuain, and they left me alone :D

It seems that both Bayern and City are going to qualify as second in their group.
City almost surely, because Barca needs only 4 points from Gladbach (at home) and Celtic (in Glasgow). Bayern needs any kind of win against Atletico in Munich, so there it's still open.

Anyway, this year even if we win the group, we'll have a ~60% chance to get a super strong or strong team (City, Dortmund, Bayern/Atletico, Arsenal/PSG). Chances to get a strong team will rise to ~70% if we win the group and Napoli ends second.
On the other hand, if we end up second in the group, our chances to get really strong teams is not any bigger (again ~60%).

Since the guys in Juve know this, I bet we will play just to qualify (i.e, we'll play for a draw tomorrow) and we won't give a damn to win the group (i.e we will lose in Seville and then beat Dinamo Zagreb in Turin).

Edit: I stand corrected regarding Bayern. I forgot that Atletico won in the last minute today, so Bayern will need either a 1:0 win vs Atletico, or a win by 2 or more.

Which makes even more sense to end up second but how risky is that, it's really like playing with fire if we go for the draw tomorrow.

It's worse to end 2nd, because we risk getting Barca or Real, but that's it.

As 2nd we can get: Barca, Real, Bayern/Atletico, PSG/Arsenal
As 1st we can get: City, Dortmund, Bayern/Atletico, PSG/Arsenal

In regards to the other 3 groups, the potential opponents are pretty much on the same level.

1st or 2nd, we have a bigger chance to get a strong team than a weaker one. The difference, as said, is Barca instead of City and Real instead of Dortmund, if we don't win the group.

Still, regarding tomorrow's match, I do expect a very cautious game from us and when we play like that, the draw is always the most probable result. We are a team that won't risk losing when the draw means an almost sure qualification (yeah, I do expect a certain win against Dinamo Zagreb in Turin).

Yup, at first we'll still have a chance to get one of Bayern or Atletico (which aren't any better than Barca or Real imo), but as second there are three of the big four we could get.

As I see it, in the earlier stages it's all about avoiding those four teams, we should be able to advance against any of the others - if we aren't, we won't get that far anyways.

City might become something to fear as well depending on how they'll develop through the season.
