[Champions League] Juventus 0-2 Benfica [29th January, 2025 21:00 CET] (9 Viewers)

And if the game ends with both teams on the same amount of goals (or at 0-0) both teams earn a point according to the rules of football.

We'll either win, draw or lose.

Juventini who been to games lately, any recommendations for good restaurants? And decent bars Juve fans gather before the games?


Last I was there was 4 years ago so my memory is muddy. Taking my Gooner brother with me so wanna show him what real food and fan culture looks like


@Badass J Elkann @Buck Fuddy @Anyone else that's been there past years.

Like Jay said, trying random places is good idea in Turin. There's just too much that's appealing.

But some (recent) favourites of mine:
Regular restaurants: Arsenico e Vecchi Merletti, AM restaurant
Enoteca / restaurant: Taberna Libraria (go for one of the 4 course menu's, great value for money)
Slightly more fancy: Ristrot Guviol (also go for a preset menu)
Street food: Gofreria Piemonteisa

Yildiz for Koop... Finally

The fucked thing is this is our reserve XI which Motta is only playing because we are already through. This is fucked because:

1) How well this lineup plays won't affect team selection whatsoever in future
2) This idiot doesn't realise that the more points we get, the easier the playoff opponent should be - once again he's resting players in champions league games we need to be winning

Locatelli over Douglas Luiz is only starter missing that may be the upgrade based on this season.


Otherwise Vlahovic > Khaby Muani (as nice as that first goal was), Mbangula > Koopmeiners, Chico > Nico Gonzalez.


Best of all Yildiz in his proper role.



For the backline with the absences there's no choice there or real rotation.

 

[PhRoZeN]

This means more to Benfica than us, so let them come out and play, we just gotta pounce on them counters.

We might be the only football club that saves energy in matches for training.

Imo Perin over Greggs, McKennie at LB over Andrea, Dougie over Locatelli, no Koop, Yildiz at AMC and Vlahovic (who has fallen completely out of favour - Muani is the starter in Motta's stubborn mind now imo) all show that this is an attempt to play a second string.

You're right that there's a lot of players missing, but I feel that if they were available there would be more of our subs on the pitch in this game.

This wasnt a well written post sorry I'm at work quickly sneaking my cutting insights onto the forum while nobody else is in here.

In this one a draw sure wouldn’t be something i’d rule out, but i think we’ll actually play our best available XI and try to go for the win here, there’s every reason to finish as up the table as possible, both financially and for a better chance to advance to the even later stages.

 

[Osman]

I didnt even notice Perin. At worst him and Gregorio are same level. At best Perin has better reflexes on saves so dont mind that swap.


Cambiaso has ankle injury, he is not being rested, so Mckennie is a must there.


So in my eyes on current form, the only real weakness is starting Luiz over Locatelli. Because Vlahovic has 4-5 goals in CL so far so it's luxury he is seen as backup to rest someone who barely played for us yet. And the young wingers have shown me they are more productive in their time this season then Nico G and Koop so I'm fine with that too.

Yildiz in the centre we win 3-0

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I am prepared to be annoyed, frustrated, pissed off, jaded.

Don't let me down, Jj.

 

[marko serbia]

Really excited to see Y in the middle, with Mbang and Chico on the wings. 3 young and exciting players, we might hust turn our season around, who knows. I amhappy that Koop is not in the starting lineup, he really does not deserve it at the moment....

That's it, try to avoid a few TOP clubs in the next round that by present group position we would be playing. Make it as easy as possible progressing further in CL play.

Thank you for jinxing us

I’m going to enjoy watching your hope get crushed

Since win draw or lose is practically the same.. I wouldnt mind we field an experimental side - Maybe even change the system to 2 strikers.
