[CL] Borussia Dortmund 0-3 JUVENTUS (March 18th, 2015) (5 Viewers)

[Seven]

To defend the score from the start is committing a suicide, I would go for a balanced formation, if Juve score and change the system to catenaccio DURING the match then I'm all for it (Because I don't see this Juve conceding two goals TBH), but not from the start.

What's your prediction?

If we score we go through, if we don't we're out.

Personally I feel we have all the possibilities to win this. We were the better team by far in the first leg and we have the better players. Unfortunately we have done very poorly in scenarios such as this one in the past few years. That being said, I think we'll go through.

I have the same feeling. Juve players are pretty experience to play such a match let alone the team they're playing for, but they have so much experience now that they can't fail and disappoint (Marchisio, Bonucci, Chiellini I don't trust his brain though, Evra, Tevez, Lich). No excuses.

This goal won't change much. They would still need 2 goals, in this case this would result in ET. And i can't see us winning in ET, not to mention the penalties.

If they'll score 2 goals we're out imo.

Edit:
Ah, forgot that 1-0 puts them through.

I just hope it's not still 0-0 by minute 75-80 otherwise I won't survive this game.

Dortmund has more experience, though.

7-8 of their players were CL finalists.

There is no way Juve will concede two goals. Almost impossible.

They are still inferior to this Juve. Out of all their players only Rues and Hummels can cope well with pressure IMO.

Or 88min with 5minutes extra time.

I think we have a chance to go through. But like you and Andries said, it's gonna be a suicide if we start defending the result from the beginning. I also don't see us doing well if we're the ones chasing the result as I think we kinda suck at it.

Dortmund shouldn't be underestimated. They laughed at them for getting trashed in Madrid last year but they managed to score 5 against them in Germany as they literally crushed them.

They also have an advantage of playing at home.

I disagree. Our players have been champions for three years straight. That takes a certain type of mentality. Dortmund has had decent seasons and has even reached the final, but lost. They are not champions, we are.

Both of us won in the league (sure, we were more impressive) but they reached the CL final and 1/2. We didn't. Despite us being 'champions' we choked in group stages.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Yep. CL experience counts for something

Yeah.

Juve's anus in Europe has been more used than google.

I'm looking forward to this match, though. :xfinger:

I know. But Marchisio, Chiellini, Pirlo and Buffon also have experience in big international tournaments and advancing to finals. Pirlo and Buffon even have a World Cup to their name. When it comes to experience, surely we beat them by a large margin.

Shitting bricks

If we concede early, this will get ugly for us.

I'd rather concede early than have it at 0-0 in the 85th minute.

It was long time ago while Germany also won a trophy just recently.

Look, I don't think our players in are inexperienced. I just don't think we're so good when under pressure.

It's a tough match and nothing will surprise me in it. But we have a decent result and now it's all on Allegri.

Weren't Hummels and Weidenfeller the only Dortmund players who actually won it? And Weidenfeller didn't play..

You're right though, so far we've been bad under pressure in play off games.

This is probably the most important match since Bayern's last match under Conte, If Juve wins this, they can even go pretty far, the teams left except for Bayern IMO are beatable not to mention Porto, Monaco and possibly Leverkusen can be the next team Juve face.

3-5-2, we win 3-0 catching them on the counter attack

 

[Cheesio]

Both ways, we need to score !! if we score first we are going through.

If we concede first, we will be knocked out.

I doubt we're able to beat Real. They may be out of form these days, but they're a far better side.
