their defense is arguable the best at man-marking, they can make life hard for any players/teams.

I would have been fine with Dybala starting if we put some players behind him who could actually build play forward. Dybala's touch wasn't even bad today. But any time he got the ball, there wasn't another Juventus player in the same zip code and he ended up surrounded with no space. Even just Cancelo on the pitch as well would have opened up so much more space for him. Add Berna as well, and the team would have a hope of creating something.
I can't see that at all, as most of the bandwagoners we thought we'd brought on board with the CR7 signing probably hates the club now. Can't even make it to the QF, leaving CR with one goal scored and generally making him look bad.
Fuck them all, though. Seriously. But the point here is I can't see us having gained what we hoped to gain from his arrival. Also, I'd bet a whole lot that the club has actually counted on making it past the 1/8-finals, with signing the GOAT. I believe what we're witnessing here is an absolute disaster, which will put us even more in the red and strongly inhibit us in the coming summer mercato. I expect not even one big signing, at least not without a big sale.

Max's plan before the game was correct. Without proper midfield (he even lost Khedira, who many of us might not like, but he's an important part in Max's logic) and knowing about counter-attacking potential of Atletico, he had to field MDS - Bonucci - Chiellini - AS in defense. Plus it gave him the option of using Cancelo the way he usually uses Cuadrado as a substitution.
In midfield he just fielded everyone he could field. And he tried to shift the balance towards the attack in order to compensate the weakness of the midfield. Hypothetically he could've preferred Bernardesci instead of Dybala, because he's much stronger and punchy, but he probably had his reasons not to do it.
So, I cannot blame him for not being prepared for the game before it started. The problem is, he failed to react to Simeone's moves. And he obviously hoped to keep 0-0 or even 0-1, even when it was clear that the guys cannot stand the pressure anymore and the goals were only the matter of time. It looked like he simply didn't know what to do. Which is very bad.

I doubt this. We signed him to a huge 4 year contract, as part of our project, I doubt it would rely on winning CL this year. Or that we didn't take into account the possibility of a bad draw and poor result early in the knockouts.
I expect a couple big signings, though I also expect a sale of someone like Costa and/or Sandro. We've already made quite a bit of money on young players sales as well.
People are way too pessimistic right now. I highly doubt this is an absolute disaster, badly damaging our financial capabilities and inhibiting our summer mercato.
