funny how the Italian media can only be classy towards us when we lose at the biggest stage. 
thanks for the nice words though.
damn this hurts.

While I see a lot of optimism, I also see a lot of frustration. It's obviously understandable, but I would like to provide some perspective. I don't know how old you all are, but in terms of sheer frustration for losing in the final, this year isn't even a blip on my radar compared to '97 and '98, two finals which we should have absolutely crushed, and to 2003, which we would have won if not for Nedved sitting it out.
I can confidently say that this year, on the whole, is a success rather than a failure. Who here can say the same of '96-'97? Of course this may just be my, by now, faulty memory, but I remember feeling very discontent with the way we had destroyed United, Ajax, and other good teams on the way to the final, going in as overwhelming favorites to do the unheard of back-to-back wins, and then losing to Dortmund of all teams with that inexplicable 3-1. And then the next season was a lot more bumpy, we lost to teams we shouldn't have lost to in the CL, there was a general trepidation, a feeling that we had been cursed after that final loss to Dortmund: We were not as dominant as before, but in spite of all that we reached the final and I was ready to celebrate so hard that all the prophecies of doom would be coming out false, only to have that offside goal shatter everything. And after that all the doom prophecies came true, Del Piero injured, sacking Lippi, lost in Turin to United in the semifinal...
Compared to all that... This year is a huge success, especially since we continue to improve. I've seen my share of bad years, and this one isn't a bad year. We are on the rise, on the ascendancy, we haven't yet reached our peak. Things will get better. This is just the beginning. Believe it. All of you, believe it. We are back, and there will be more finals and more wins to come. A defeat is only bad if you let it defeat you, and as far as I can tell, Juve has no intention of doing that, and its fans should do the same.

I'm proud of the players, very proud.
The first half was embarassing, we were massacred. Team as poorly positioned, and nerves were wracking.
But in the second half they belived they could do it, the game was great and we had our chances. Unfortunately Tevez didn't deliver, and Allegri IMO took too much time to make the subs.
But they gave all they got and played with heart and belief. I am really proud. The loss was heartbreaking, I was mad like hell. Now with a clearer head, I can only be thankful for what these players left on the pitch.
On to next season, let's keep growing.

spot on.
I do worry that we won't have another chance any time soon but I am hopeful. I am hopeful that we learn and grow from this, many bad teams have lost a final before they have won one... We must do the same. We aren't Atleti or Dortmund, no disrespect to those teams, so I think we can get here again. Sadly though a final comes around every so often, you have to take the opportunity when it's there. There is no real point in saying we are cursed, 4 lost finals in a row bla bla because we are in a different position now then we were then. We didn't choke against Barcelona we just simply weren't the better team. I just hope that as I've said before that this is a starting point not an end point. That this loss fuels our players even more.
fuck all this losses fuckkkkkkkkkkk. a new loss record .....fuckkkkkkkkkk. we have our changes and the turk bastard referee
we have little changes but past years we were favorites we chocked.I 'm sad now but proud for juve the players gave it all.

I'm shattered. Absolutely shattered. I haven't slept, I'm at work half drunk/hungover, I can feel my heart in my throat. Fuck, I dunno what to say. But one thing for sure, we fought!! We went out there and fought like men. 2016 has to be ours.

I'm just afraid of the next CL final. I almost don't want us to get there any more. Seems like we'll never gonna win it 
1) We gifted them a man for 97mins. Pirlo the epithet of futility. He lost so many balls and brought 0 to our game. He should have been subbed after 20-30 mins.
2) That Penalty not given right before their counter attack where they scored the 2-1. Could have been a differente game gosh.
3) That refree being a twat. Barcellona players rolling over any touch was maddening coudn't believe my f....... eyes.
To finish it all another cup final lost. We're collecting them. Fack everything really.

We fought 'till the very end. With a little bit of luck we could have watched another team winning, but that's what makes football so great. We'll be stronger next season. I can't wait
We still have our souls...
Forza Juve :theflag:
