@Gian They played Lampard and Mikel holding in the Final, with Mata ahead of them. Against Barca, they had a three of Lampard-Mikel-Ramires sitting deep.
• Juventus have not won on their last 11 competitive outings in England, losing eight and drawing three, including their 2003 UEFA Champions League final penalty shoot-out defeat by AC Milan.
• Juve have triumphed just twice in 19 contests away to English opposition: 2-1 against Aston Villa FC in the 1982/83 European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-finals and 1-0 at Manchester United FC in the 1996/97 group stage.
At least we have very few survivors from the 97-06 era that kept losing against the English sides away from home.
Not half as confident as some of you though I'd take a draw with evenly matched sides, so much inexperience still in this team. Obviously play to win though.
Am nervous. We have to take any small chance that slips our way. I just hope they don't run at us as wildly as the Madrid - City match. Both teams just ran like mad for the whole match.
I'll be content with a draw in this one. I think that's the best we can hope for at this point. Experience will be key here, and I hope that our players aren't as excited as us fans going to this match. Conte's job isn't easy right now, that's for sure.
