Welcome to the forum, don't mind the banter. But I can tell you these fans on the tuz mean no harm. You're welcome to stay around post the final too. You'll also see that these guys have been through the ups and downs that this team has been through. So we are true old school fans not glory hunters you'll see across a lot of money clubs.

To answer your question, Barca are big favourites for the game, on paper anyway. I think Juve are mentally in good shape, and hoping they can turn around their odds in a final. It is our eight appearance incidentally. If I had to add a percentage, I'd start with a 60-40 in Barca's favour, however, if the game stays goalless or Juve start well, I would imagine that percentage could switch almost favourably. Good luck for the game.

I'm guessing the pessimism is like you say more a self defense mechanism. But oddly enough, there are times or some matches, where you kind of wake up feeling a certain way in a good/bad way. What are you feeling this particular time? The reason I ask is, because while everybody has Barca at overwhelming odds on favourites, this final has us in so many ways as a unknown quantity. We honestly don't know how strong or how weak we will be at the true summit of Europe. My heart obviously goes with Juve for tomorrow, somewhere, I feel destiny and serendipity, I guess I take heart in some coincidences like Berlin, perhaps the law of averages for Barca always winning finals and us always losing em. But again, there is a lot of measure in emotion because I don't want to get carried away with soft statistical coincidences.

One thing though, that I feel a lot of experts and players have missed out on us the psychological aspect of the game where I feel Juve are hungrier, and more of a team in that sense, where they will sacrifice for each other. Barca have been in this position before, and this time, while they are stronger than ever, I also think/feel they're more about individuals than a collective.

I don't know if I'm pessimistic about tomorrow, but I am pragmatic. If I was to call this, as per the way I read us and the Barca way of doing things, I can see it as a stubborn slugfest, where Juve will start controlling things the longer they go on. Also, like you said if we get off to a good start, this team has the maturity and intelligence to build on it, rather than hand the initiative back to Barca.

All this said, there's just too much emotion at stake and I don't know how to deal with it. Whether I should stick to my superstitions - sitting on one particular sofa, in one particular set of clothes, with the lighting a certain way etc., or share it by calling some friends over to help absorb the palpable energy.

Anyway, all this said, you still didn't answer which way you see it go? Be it head or heart.

After these days, I just left behind all my rationality about %s and MSN, because I remembered that we have lost shitloads of finals. And you know what?, I think that tomorrow we cannot continue that trend.

Im very aware who our rivals are, but even against them, we cannot let another defeat happen.

I think that enought is enought. The 2003 one was an ugly one, like a slow death.

We need to get this right this time. I really dont feel that Juventus is inferior to barcelona. Obvs in terms of attackking quality theres a margin, that we all know, but as a team, I see our guys fighting it till the very end.
Barcelona will not have a walk in the park and the cup will be up for grabs.

We need to win.

I'm always naturally pessimistic on these occasions, I suppose it is a self defence mechanism so I don't get too downbeat if the worst happens.

I just don't want us to get embarrassed, which there is always an outside chance of happening against a team like that, if players either get injured or heads drop or the ref kills us, whatever. I think our team is too good for that to happen, I have a lot of confidence in this team because we've been through tough spells in games and are getting it done, now in knock out competitions as well. Winning over and over breeds confidence and naturally leads to moments like this. We have experience in coming back from setbacks, we are mentally tough and bounce back straight away. That will probably need to happen tomorrow at some point.

They have a special player and a video game front line so we will be under immense pressure defensively, but finals are even weirder than regular knock out games. We've yet to see Barcelona with a game getting away from them. I have confidence in our team defence, in our mentally tough individuals, and we have the pace and quality to hurt any team, especially on the counter attack.

It's easy to predict a Barcelona victory because they look like a team who don't just have great players but a similarly strong winning habit and belief, they don't just rely on a style and solely technique any more, but it's one game and of course we can win it. I just don't know yet how the cards are going to fall. I can see literally every scenario happening, but I think if we are to win we need a good start to the game.

:agree:

Spot on.

It will be an interesting game and I think it will go one of two ways a 3-0 win for Barca or a 2-1 to us. Something like that. We need to take our chances when they come. Fuck I am nervous and excited at the same time, let us enjoy the ride while we have it. Whatever happens, happens we must just make sure that we build from it and start to consistently get into the position we are in now.
