Come on guys, you can’t possibly think we would absolutely beat this City, we looked like shit in those finals.
Against Madrid, sure, we had a shit second half. But against Barca, nah. We had a nervous 25 minutes and then went chance for chance for the next 70 minutes. And given the clear penalty for Alves rugby tackling Pogba, who knows. That Barca side was also a team with multiple multi CL winning players.

This City side looked nervous as fuck and is half the side that Barca was, not even gonna bring up the Madrid side that won 4 of 5 CLs.

We are Juve so we could certainly fuck up any final, even against a shit side like this Inter, but saying we played shit against Barca is just dumb.

I'm actually incredibly sad because we could've easily been in the final instead of Inter and up against a terrible City, maybe could've even won. We could've won the Coppa, won the Europa League too. We failed so badly when we could've had an incredible season. I can get over some failures but I'm really bitter about this season. From the manager, some players, to the whole management - every level has disappointed me.
:lol:

This forum has a weird fetish for revisionism.

We started terribly against Barca but were absolutely in the game and should have had a penalty at 1-1 in the second half.

First half v Real we were in with a chance then collapsed second half.

Both those teams we played were up there with the best CL winners.

The Madrid 2nd half was shocking

The year we let Bayern come back at the very end was disgusting too

Basically if there's a 50/50 time in key moments in Europe, bet your house against Juve every fucking time

You mean Evra fucking around with the ball on the edge of our box and losing it for an equalizer instead of clearing it with seconds left? Plus, the ref disallowing the Morata goal that was a metre onside? That game?

That Barca side had arguably one of the best offensive forces in football history if not the best. We were unlucky, but a big part of it has to do with the mental strength of the team and the coach. It’s a final game and it has different key moments for one team or one individual to exploit that and make the difference; for example real Madrid’s European DNA, Suarez’s killer instinct, or in the opposite case Lukaku being a choker.

We lost 5 games in the group stage bro. No we couldn’t be in the final. We couldn’t even beat a fucking Israeli team twice.
