WOW!!!
Time to celebrate! What a team performance.
Manninger 7 (Wasn't tested really because of great defending)
Mellberg 7 (Had by far the hardest opponent in Drenthe and was really good covering him. Did make any mistake when coming forward from time to time. Right Back is a better position for him, it seems)
Legrottaglie 6.5 (Solid, nothing more)
Chiellini 7 (Outstanding. A leader in his young age. Beside his clearences, that sometimes go anywhere, he was perfect)
Molinaro 6.5 (One of the better games. Was also contributing in going forward, but was lucky, that he didn't had any though opponent to cover. Raul and Higuain were not able to force him into any mistake. As was Ramos)
Marchionni 6 (A 6 for defending, a 5.5 for the rest. Really invisible. Couldn't challange Marcelo at all. I am waiting for Camoranesi....)
Sissoko 7 (Wow, another outstanding performance. Even after receiving the yellow card, he still was able to controll the mid. An ongoing motor in the middle who never stops running)
Tiago 6.5 (Could have done better in some occasions, but its so good to see him back. Was able to hold on to the ball, when we had possession and at least tried to be creative. Nice pictures of him and Chiellini in the end
Nedved 6 (Offensivly nothing special, but also a very good performance in defense. Covered his opponent and showed a lot of leadership. Will retire at the age of 45....)
Amauri 6.5 (Tried a lot, moved a lot to the wings and did nice there to hold on to the ball, but he needs a break.)
Del Piero 100000 (When Real Fans are giving standing ovations to a player from the opponents......you know it must be Diego himself or Del Piero. Thank God for this player. I was moved to tears after the second goal)
Congrats! We are through and we should be able to beat Bate at home, so the first place is safe, IMO!
FORZA JUVE! Lets wear our shirts tommorow!!!!

I don't care if we'll play catenaccio for 90 minutes and win with 40m fk by Ale 
we're going to play in madrid, against better team (right now), and many of our players are not fit. we must play carefully.
by the way, after the first match, one of the spanish newspapers' headline was 'catenaccio and del piero'. i wish for a repeat.

as rihana says, how about a round of applause, standing ovation? let's hear you guys
BS, he had very very players on his side of the pitch, yet none managed to cross often. Ramos is one of the best RBs in the world, Raul is the Spanish and Real equivalent to our Ale, though not as influential, and Higuain had fresh legs against Molinaro who didn't stop all game, yet none of these actually managed to dribble Moli, and very few crosses actually reached the box from this side.
Molinaro is getting confidence from his better games, from better reviews in the newspaper and from the fans actually supporting him rather than heckling, that is the reason he is committing less errors

Great team performance. The side did not loose it's shape, and made the most of the chances it was given. We didn't push for goal as hard as the 1st leg, but tactically we were much disciplined. I did not think we would come out as focused as we did away from home. Ranieri handled this match perfectly.
Del Piero is Juventus personified. Legend.
