[Champions League] Real Madrid vs JUVENTUS (11/05/08) (11 Viewers)

[C4ISR]

Obviously we will go there looking for a win, but Madrid will want revenge for the 1st leg, especially infront of their home fans. They will have extra motivation, on top of a strong squad. I'll be happy if we manage a tie.

Is Camo fit enough to start?

He should be. He fully recovered last Tuesday, iirc.

if they really want revenge and are driven by this feeling, than we got even more chances to bring this one "home". an angry opponent is always more vulnerable on the counter attack than someone who does think about every move carefully and waits for his chance.

Real Madrid drew against Almeria today(1-1). They didn't look impressive at all. Pepe went out injured, but I dont think it's serious. Van der Vaart was on the bench, Sneijder played. I hope that's gonna be the case against us too, because VdV is superior to Sneijder IMO.

 

[Ahmed]

not for Madrid...Sneijder is a key figure in the Madrid MF

 

[blondu]

vdv is still adapting...

of course :flag: :flag2:

If we win are we certain of qualification?

EDIT: will work it out here myself,

Current Table:
Juve 7
real 6
bate 2
Zenit 1

If we win and BATE win then we would need one point to qualify; should we win and Bate-Zenit draw we are secure of qualification, but not of first place; should we and Zenit win then we would just have to not do worse than a 1-0 loss in Russia.
If we draw and Bate-Zenit draw we would need a draw to qualify.
If we lose and they draw we would still be 4 points ahead of Bate who would have 3 points.
So qualification is in our hands

You listed all outcomes except for the worst one, if we lose and BATE win.

 

[Cuti]

Yeah was kind of hoping that it isn't a possibility, though i'd rather BATE win rather than Zenit, since bate have to play us at home on the last matchday, and play Real in round 5, while Zenit would encounter us in Russia next matchday in the extreme conditions that Russia has, and then a REal which would have qualified if they beat us on Wed

 

[The Curr]

Were as good as through already. We will beat BATE at home and get at least 1 point from the other 2 matches. That would do wouldn't it?

I was thinking about this the other day.
I know that Zenit will have an advantage in such extreme conditions but it won't be a huge advantage.
Zenit are a technical team that plays with lots of passing, with possession football, and keeps things on the ground a lot. We on the other hand are the opposite of Zenit. We rely on sheer power a lot and we play long balls. We are fighters, they are artists. The potential snow in St. Petersburg is what Zenit's Dutch coach won't pray for. You can be sure about that. Their total football won't work on such pitch.

 

[Salvo]

i hope to see a good game from us our confidence is high obviously i want a win but i will definetly settle for a draw.
