The "this position" is better than "that position" arguments are usually worthless. Its team v team not individual part v individual part. Juve didnt beat Madrid because their individual parts were better, they one because their team was better. Juve was cohesive and organized, while Madrid wasnt. Thats the story.
Especially because it's not like our say defenders are playing against their defenders.

Of course. I'm not saying that individual positions alone make all the difference, but I've clearly stated the way our midfield and defense work together defensively is a class above anyone left in the CL aside from a healthy Bayern. Far superior to Barca or Madrid. And it will cause problems for Barca's attack if we go through. It will be a very big test for them. Just like their attack will be a very big test for our defensive cohesion.

Saying stupid shit like we are clearly outclassed, is, well, stupid. And not in the slightest true.

You may very well be outclassed, but youll have to make the final and see them do the same to find out.:D

Stop being so literal. Of course I know our defenders don't play against their defenders. I've explained already that it's the very impressive defensive cohesion and tactics between our midfield and defenders that makes our defense so formidable. Barca doesn't have that. They have an immense attack. So it will be strength (Juventus defensive cohesion) against strength (Barca attack), and weakness (Juve attack) against weakness (Barca defense).

Very simple. Very very simple.

But this is my point exactly. It's all just hypothetical at this point. We've never played this Barca, or even a team much like them, and they've never played this Juve or even a team all that similar.

So all the doom and gloom, and suggestions that we are outclassed are just as ridiculous as Alex saying the opposite.
