Speaking of which I am sure we lost that game when there was no Ribery and Robben came on late. We looked awful defending corners that day too and didn't pick up Van Buyten or Gomez.

Although that season we conceded loads from set pieces overall, I remember one in each of the games against Bordeaux too.

yes true, bayern scored twice by corners I remember, set pieces are so important, u can really make use of it... I wonder how good barca would be by using more set pieces

problem is Barca lack height so it is some what difficult for them to capitalise on the set pieces so i can't see them being any good on the set pieces at any point soon

That defense against Bayern in 2009 :yao:

That game against Bayern to an extent signified our European downfall.Could this upcoming game against Bayern lead to the start of our dominance in Europe ?

(maybe dominance is bit too strong a word ,but i hope you get what i'm saying)

Grosso against Robben

IIRC Bayern played without both Robben and Ribery in that game.

Grygera ,37 year old Cannavaro,Grosso :yao: That was such a shit defense ! Those were the days.

i thought caceres started and not grygera

I was not talking about the game but was speaking in general.We had some poor set of defenders in those years.

Especially when you consider defense has always been Juve's strong point in most of their history.

urgh yeah that season as only epitomised by the win against roma when Diego ran riot and the win against inter other than that, the season was pretty much a write off

I believe whoever wins this tie will be in the final. Whether they'll win it you never know, but these are two of the strongest, most consistent teams (barring the last 2-3 brainfarts Bayern has had and Juve's stumbles) in the competition. Madrid suffers against Bayern and they would get crushed by Juve, and Barca... well, that's a huge question mark now, isn't it?

Well i said the same thing in the CL thread too..I too believe whoever is going to win this tie is going to reach the Champions League Final.

If Juve are able to get past Bayern,we really have to believe we have what it takes to win CL this year.

That's Kohler for you, he frustrates the shit out of any opposing forward.

Thank you.
What a generation of tough defenders we ever got here. Gentille, kohler, montero, now chiello.

I said as much at the start of this season: if not Bayern, Juve will win this. I was hoping it'd be the final. We had a massive run of form at the beginning of the season, great depth, and overall squad quality to go, and so does Juve. Barca's defense has been laughable, and Madrid have been shambolic. Dortmund looks great too, but I think we could beat them at the final if it came to that. Juve is the one team I believe can put a real challenge to Bayern in all areas, and if we lose to you I damn well expect you to raise that cup at the end of this. You'd better!

Semifinals have way too much luck involved, could be any of the 4 going through in that situation.

I have a feeling it will be a Dortmund vs Juventus final this year...especially as it's held in Wembley and I live quite close to the stadium. Would be amazing if I could get tickets to see Juve in the final

So you would like to take revenge against dortmund for 1997? That win of Dortmund was really a sensation that time. similar to Euros 2004, when greece won the title...

That Juve team in 1997 was almost unstoppable, but the pressure was on them, maybe that was the problem, nobody expect dortmund to win.
