Juventus will not access to the knockout stage of the Champions League for their first time since 2013/14 season.

Juventus have only won 3 points after their first five games in #UCL this term, their lowest tally at this stage in the competition.

Oh yeah and remember last time your team was relevant, Barack Obama wasn't even a US President. Also, two trebles for us, none for you.

We played in 20 semifinals, you in 13, 32 quarterfinals for us, 17 for you, and both played 11 finals. Even if you won 1 final more than us we're simply way ahead when it comes to being consistent. We assembled 523 points in the CL, you only 320.

Milan was better than us no doubt but now the roles have switched and we're way in front, it's not even a contest. The numbers don't lie.

And us not going past you in the CL is something only a fan of an irrelevant club would care about. Maybe you'll be relevant again in the next decades time. :lol:

Bayern and Real Madrid are setting records in the CL, Milan did so too but that's a long long time ago.

The stats don't really lie. You could argue it's Real Madrid and Milan as they're the two clubs with the most cups in the competition, but Bayern are just waaaaay ahead of Milan if you look at the overall table.

Please add all those UCL points, quaterfinal appearances, and Semi final appearances and ask UEFA to grant Bayern a Champions League trophy for achieving all that - so that they can also have 7 UCL titles just like Milan.

Anyway, I respect Bayern a lot. And I agree Milan have not been that good this past decade, but every club goes through some bad cycles (some more than others). Also, if they met today, Bayern would be the clear favorites but it would be touted as an epic match, because this fixture carries that weight and prestige, even though Milan have been absent from UCL in recent years. So history does matter.

Tbh, despite the financial losses, this might be better for us. We dont have anything to do in CL at the moment anyways. Better to focus fully on beating the likes of Empoli and Sass , rather than getting embarassed in Europe. We have a hard enough time doing that already

Do we still have a chance going to EL after tonight loss?
I read somewhere we lost around 15M euro for not progressing CL group stage this season but can get 20M if we win EL.
But winning EL seems a pipedream atm ffs

EL shouldn't be difficult to reach later stages, there is bound to be some "small clubs" to match up with

I respect Milan, before we entered the 10’s you definitely had a bigger history than us in Europe.

After we won the treble in 2013 things slowly changed though, Bayern did the same again 2 years ago hence I’d argue we have surpassed you, although I can understand if a Milan fan sees it differently.

Indeed its an epic and prestigious match up.

if we some how by some miracle win the EL, I will call this season a mega success, regardless of our final Serie A standing.

EL has teams like Arsenal in it that would bum us on current form. Nevertheless, it's worth getting experience because we're clowns in European tournaments. Our dream CL final would be Benfica or Maccabi and we'd still lose.

I'm wondering if financial losses would do this club some good. Being fat and deep-pocketed has lead to bloated Rabiot and Ramsey problems and the ejection of a lot of promising talent in favor of a highly paid geriatric ward. This club needs real Richard Simmons sweat


I'd replace our midfield with everything in that video, even if they're all 60 years old now.

How many times we mocked inter for getting knocked out from group stage! and now the table is turned. they are making through from the most difficult group stage and we were beaten by an unknown club which name was maccabi.
