Juventus 0 - 0 B Munich Half-Time
Stadio Delle Alpi
David Trezeguet wasted a golden opportunity as Juventus are held by Bayern Munich at the break.
The Bianconeri found themselves under pressure for the first time this season, having lost 2-1 in Munich followed by Saturday's 3-1 Serie A defeat to Milan. Patrick Vieira returned from injury, albeit not 100 per cent fit, while Jonathan Zebina, Gigi Buffon and Alessandro Birindelli remained sidelined.
Christian Abbiati was back in goal after a bout of tonsillitis and his howler in the first leg in Germany, but Fabio Capello gambled with an all-new tactical set-up. A three-man defence allowed Alessandro Del Piero to play behind front two Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Trezeguet. Robert Kovac faced the club he left in the summer.
Juve nearly scored an own goal after four minutes, as Abbiati had to fly in order to tip Trezeguet's wayward backward header out from under the crossbar.
He almost netted at the other end moments later, a fierce strike stunging the palms of Oliver Kahn, but the Frenchman probably should've passed to the unmarked Del Piero in a better scoring position.
Bayern really should've taken the lead when Emerson mis-timed his challenge and let Roy Makaay free just inside the area, but he drilled his angled drive inches past the upright with Abbiati left motionless.
Juve made possibly an even worse miss on 15 minutes. Gianluca Zambrotta out-sprinted two defenders down the right flank and managed to put in a perfect cross for the totally unmarked Trezeguet, but he somehow blazed well wide of the near post from seven yards.
Claudio Pizarro had timid penalty appeals waved away for a nudge from Lilian Thuram, then at the other end Zambrotta wanted a spot-kick for a scuffle with Ze Roberto.
Kahn smothered an Ibrahimovic attempt from close range after a corner kick came to the back post, but the Swede was visibly on poor form and was booked for a petulant kick at Ismael after the ball had already gone.
