True but that doesn't give us a guarantee that we will make a final next year.
Yeh. I remember in 2003 when we lost... i was trying to hype myself thinking that we would get to the final again and del piero and co. were goign to win it finally.... but it was nothing like i envisioned and had to wait 12 years.
I hope this time it will be different..because we are a totally different team and things are looking bright
I actually don't have any complaints about this final. Unlike in 2003 where we excelled in cluelessness we actually played well and dominated parts of the match. It was an even match and Barcelona played slightly better in defense and quite a bit better in offense - we're weak there. But either team had enough chances to decide the match so it could have gone either way.
Plus we're now totally owning the silver medal standings :strong:
Btw Pirlo needs to move on, he contributes very little at this point. Loses the ball, poor passing, little vision.
Agree with everything Martin. I dont feel nearly as bad as in 2003. By that time , our team was like unstoppable until that nedved yellow card. The guys went to that final with no courage to fight for it and everything went wrong...It was also a very lame catenaccio game and boring as fuck. Yesterday´s game was a real battle and we stepped up to our limits.
Pirlo needs to go. Legend and all, but he is just too old. We can have much younger and combinations of battering mdfielders that would support much better our forwards. Pirlo´s era is over.
This
I'm not even mad,disappointed yes .
As you said we lost fom better team,with best attack ever, and gap wasn't that big we fought .
2003 on other hand that sucks man,every time I remember it it sucks hard
And we did it with our heads held high. No cowardice, no catenaccio. The team fought with tooth and nails and were bested by the better team...rferee and all..we were bested. And theres no shame in that.
The difference in atacking quality was shown. Their forwards pressed our team with skill. No team in this CL instilled that sense of danger like barcelona did yesterday.-
A day later and I'm surprised I'm not more heartbroken over this. I guess it's because we were beaten fairly, gave our best, and put up a good fight.

Cakir is a joke, case closed
He was shid.. but TBH.. all modern refs would succumb to the pressure of Barcelona.
Thats why we cant rely on ref to win.. To win against a diving team like barcelona..you will need to pummel them and pummel them bad..because you kno the ref will help them.
People point at Juve for being cheaters... but Barcelona is the real modern cheating team,.
