You clearly didn't watch either fucking match. In the first match we obviously got out of our half considering in the first 20 minutes we had more attempts on goal than Bayern did. In the second match Morata was utterly run into the ground which is why he was subbed. It's why both of his counters in the second half he ran out of steam and basically passed the ball to Neuer with his shots. Both the extra time goals scored by Bayern were because we were attacking, but were absolutely gassed. Coman scored on a counter, not because we were parking the bus. You forget Lichtsteiner's great chance in ET, and Mandzu had a fantastic chance he fluffed. Bonucci had two chances in the box and even Sturaro missed one. We had 5 great chances in Extra time, but yeah we were parking the bus still.

Your drivel is the most pathetic thing on this forum. Far more bitch-like and indicative of a complete pussy than anything about Juventus' mentality or tactics.

I forgot how much obscene respect Allegri and our players gave Barca, Real Madrid and Man City. But I guess all evidence flies out the window when you're a clueless twit. Comparing us against Bayern to PSG the other night. Pathetic fool. :lol2:
Ok ye Coman did score on a counter attack at 3-2 I remember that one. From the minute they scored the first goal in Munich we went into retreat and it was all one way traffic for the rest of the match.

He should have put Zaza on for Moratta and not Mandzukic. That was the sub that changed the game because there was no counter attack available.

We had some chances but it wasn't enough and the reaction only came when Bayern had drew level. It was too little too late and Allegri with mistakes in both matches was the reason we were knocked out.

Ugh fuck you, you piece of cunt. Toying me like i'm your fucking spiderman action figure. Well guess what buddy, I am not made of plastic unlike you. You see, the thing that you complained about me is so ironic that It makes me want to shove iron up your ass because motherfucker I'm not having a great day right now but boy there you are, nagging that "I fucked up!" And I should have known from the start, I mean I didn't that will happen. What am I? A predictor? A magical magician who sees the future and avoid like how Mirai Fucking Nikki do? Hell no man. You can say that to my face if you are fucking Doctor Who but bitch, you ain't Doctor Who. By the way, thanks for calling me an idiot, It means a fucking lot. Oh wait, It does not. Damn, you know how hypocritical you are right now? Your IQ is equivalent of a fucking rock, absolutely none. You also fucked up many months ago. Remember our project in art? Boom, you slapped your painted hands of yours into my fucking uniform. I should be thankful that it was removable because if it ain't, you're just gonna awaken my Kim-Jong-Un within me and start World War III. Do you know how much I gripped my hand because I just wanted to punch your idiotic face? You don't? Okay okay, i'll give a hint. It's like you wanna kill a fly with a fucking bazooka. Right now, i'm a bit of a short fuse. Everytime I feel your presense, I'm like a fucking time bomb go tick-tock-tick-tock, waiting to explode and allahu akbar right into your fucking face. My temper is equivalent to fucking ISIS. If you cut my fuse, It'll be 9/11 everyday. Of course we know who the twin towers are. I wish that you were a fucking jew being gassed/gased by Hitler a.k.a. Me. Everytime I see your face, it makes me want to take the nearest sharpest object, jam it and gouge your fucking eye like Oedipus. Lastly, kill yourself.

You need to know where to draw the line of what insults you can repeadedly trow at a person, and which ones you cant.

After training yesterday, i had a 1.5 houre long conversation with 4 people. White caucasian me, 50ish y/o second generation turkish migrant, his 23 y/o son and first generation iraqi guy.
It was very interesting and could talk about everything, discussing gulf wars, consequences, Trump, Clinton, female rights (always fun with a turkish guy to talk about that), some very interesting comparisons of causes of harrassment and radicalisation, erdogan pro and contra (try doing that with turks, good luck), Hussein(the iraqi one, not obama), khadaffi, Assad, etc.

Not a single insult was trown, not a single label was presented. I could present any argument and they would present any opinion.

I went to the sauna and thought long about what was said and how i should make notice of this to my thinkings. It was a great alternative to beeing bored as usual, making a list of what girl has the best looking vagina and what stuff i could do to my girlfriend in the turkish steambath that other people cant see.

Then i log back in to read a series of insults, labels and accusations from a bunch of leftist faggets who claim moral superiority over everything.

Finally, good on the Guardian to finally speak out:

Luis Suárez’s dive exposes Barcelona’s cheating, amid the celebrations

he post-match Camp Nou scene that resonated most with me did not involve Barcelona’s group photographs. It was not Luis Enrique in such a mood that one thought he might be of a mind to reconsider his future. The sight of distraught Paris Saint-Germain supporters, motionless on the upper tier, was what struck a chord.
Never mind celebrations, what lingered was that gut-wrenching feeling of painful defeat as experienced only by those who care passionately for their team, and which dismisses the cliche that football is “only a game”. It is unexplainable to anyone who hasn’t suffered the same level of dejection.

In this case, those from France can only have sampled hurt turning towards anger when they reflected on Wednesday night’s events. If they could stomach the replays, that is. The notion of Barça’s comeback being special, incredible, the best of all time – isn’t everything nowadays? – is completely undermined by the specifics of their achievement.
Once again the cottage industry that is the lauding of all things La Liga, and Barcelona in particular, belies what appear to be dark arts. The Barça brand matters more than what should always be established codes of football conduct. So too, perhaps, does the Champions League brand, as backed further by BT Sport within recent days. Pundits fawn, laughably in respect of former footballers who would rightly be incandescent had they suffered at the hands of Barça’s routinely wobbly forwards.
If the awarding of Barcelona’s first penalty of the night was dubious, Thomas Meunier committing the apparently fatal sin of falling over with Neymar in close proximity, the hosts’ second, which fuelled the fairytale, represented a blatant act of cheating. Consider this scenario: that Luis Suárez threw himself to the floor in the manner he did after darting in front of Marquinhos when playing, instead, in a key international against England. No odds can be offered that we would have heard plenty more about it, either in immediate post-match analysis or now that the dust has almost settled. In this instance? People are willing, just about, to cite “controversy”. It is Barcelona, they are brilliant, fresh parameters apply.

Suárez dived, just as he did earlier in the game when such antics cost him a booking. If you watch back through the dying stages, Barça’s players are throwing themselves to the floor with such desperation it is comical. The not-so- subtle message, as witnessed by millions including impressionable young footballers? When in doubt, when things get seriously tough, keep the conning of officials at the forefront of your mind. The ruse is even more effective when a team are at home, in such an intense atmosphere as the Camp Nou. Referees wouldn’t be human if they didn’t feel pressure to bow to the demands of the bawling masses.

There is a counterpoint. That is, players such as Suárez – Cristiano Ronaldo being another – move at such pace that the slightest touch in what believe it or not remains a contact sport will knock them off balance. Yet it is quite incredible that players with such power, poise and strength are suddenly toppled when scope for a key penalty kick exists.
PSG are not some put-upon minnows – far from it. Barça’s followers can point both to a penalty their team should have had on Wednesday after a pull on Lionel Messi’s shirt and contentious decisions in the first leg. Nonetheless these incidents are made more troublesome to the point of impossible for referees by the scale of diving as carried out as routine by Suárez and co. Barcelona versus Real Madrid matches might offer epic theatre but the scandalous level of play-acting is curiously ignored in a manner that insults the intelligence of onlookers. This undermines the fixture.
The common response to such complaints is that some of us, particularly in Britain, need to wise up. British players, it is even stated, should become more streetwise when catching up with the “art” of simulation. It is a ludicrous argument; that cheating, because it has become rife, must be embraced as part of football.

Other sports would scoff. Would the player who signed for a 63 at Augusta National but was later found to have kicked his ball from behind a tree at the 15th be shamed or lauded? Would the wicketkeeper who flicked bails off for no reason be laughed at or hailed? What about the snooker player who subtly shifts a troublesome black with his hand at The Crucible? This all adds up to the same thing: deception.

Just as Barcelona are a brilliant team, who revolutionised football to an extent, and Suárez is a wonderful player, this should not provide an excuse for selective blindness. Unfortunately it does, amid the race to proclaim Wednesday evening as worthy of a public holiday. There is almost the sense that the Champions League needs Barça’s involvement, regardless of the means by which that transpires.
In context of the greatest European comeback ever, even those in the present-day backwater that is Scotland, who realise football didn’t begin with the onset of the Premier League and wall-to-wall live broadcasting, can cite alternatives. Kilmarnock versus Eintracht Frankfurt in 1964 is worthy of mention, as are Dunfermline Athletic’s heroics against Valencia two years earlier. In 1967 Hibernian turned another Inter-Cities Fairs Cup tie on its head by trouncing Dino Zoff’s Napoli 5-0 in Edinburgh.
They say life was simpler then. Football was certainly fairer; it should not be beyond professional analysts to lay aside the confetti and point that out or, indeed, for Barcelona to modify their behaviour.

No conspiracy, but somehow Barcelona always get the calls in their favor. The Suarez penalty yesterday was no more a penalty than the tug on Pogba in the final a couple of seasons ago. The difference? The ref would have had to award a penalty AGAINST Farcelona, in a CL FINAL! Hypocritical UEFA, and refereeing double standards at their finest.

The longer Fagca and Madrid stay in the competition, the more money UEFA get. Ofcourse they will have ref protection because all the morons in the world cheer for these 2 clubs. You will never see a critical 50/50 call Go against them, unless the ref makes a honest mistake

FC Porto beat Arouca 4-0 away. They played with their first team, only taking off their main players from the 70th minute. Danilo was beasting for them again. Since that defeat at Dragao they have gone to win all their 3 league games with a goal scored 12 to 0 conceded. Hopefully we retain our focus and send them back home for them to continue concentrating on the league.
