[Champions League] JUVENTUS 4-0 Nordsjælland (November 7, 2012) (22 Viewers)

After the Juve final whistle blew, I told myself don't turn over to the Chelsea game and as soon as they won that corner I had the sickening feeling it was going in.
Personally, I think it's a lot more important than what's being made out on here as Chelsea would've come out to play against us, had they been a point behind us in the standings, but now a draw would clearly be a great result for them. Would've fancied our chances more in an open game against them as alone the back four and the holding midfielders haven't done that well this season.
That said, I am still delighted at the hunger showed by us today. Yes it is against Norshalala, but that level of hunger displayed today for such a long period in the game has been missing from our game for a while and if we display that hunger once again in the Chelsea game, then I remain optimistic of our chances. One game at a time, we only need to worry about the Shakhtar game, if it gets that far.

Welcome to the forum! Believe me, it was just as frustrating for us seeing Chelsea win as for you. 
I hope you'll take the second place behind us.

I think the most probable way for Juve to get through is to get 4 points in the next 2 games and finish the second. Because i think it will be very hard to get 6 points for you in a row.
Its annoying that Chelsea won, but in all honesty, it shouldn't really matter. If we go through this group, we can't expect to do it without beating at least 1 strong team. In other words, if we don't beat chelsea at home, and I think we can because Chelsea has been far from scary so far, then we just don't have any business in the champions league. We don't want to just qualify to the next round, we want to go far. Next game will be the best indication of just how far we can go. If we fail, then we probably would have gone out early anyways in the next round.
We all know that if we play our game against Chelsea with the right motivation, nothing is beyond reach.
