[CL] Monaco 0-2 JUVENTUS [3rd May, 2017] (9 Viewers)

[Gep]

I don't want to under-rate Monaco and what they've done so far but I see Juve scoring at least once for many reasons:

1- Gonzalo HAS to score
2- They are weak defensively
3- Allegri

I think it'll be the complete opposite. Regardless of all this talking about not underestimating Monaco. It's in our DNA to struggle against the "minnows" at times and not so much against the "bigger " clubs.

This tie will be a closer call than what others are suggesting.

I remember getting to Finals and buzzing that we're there and getting that Final feeling, not no more. Unfortunately that's just half the problem. As the other is having the same mental block as Higuain does on the big occasions.

From what I remember since Allegri took over he's taken these type of teams very serious and has done tremendous job.


In 2014/15
Vs Atletico (Group Stages)
Vs Dortmund (2nd round)
Vs Monaco (Quarters)

In 2015/16
Vs City (Group Stages)
Vs Sevilla (Group Stages)
Vs Gladbach (Group Stages)

2016/17
Vs Lyon (Group Stages)
Vs Sevilla (Group Stages)
Vs Porto (2nd round)

Allegri has done pretty well against those type of teams TBH, in-fact he has done well against most of the teams be average or world class team.

Heh we've been doing just fine against 'minnows' ever since group stage.

Everyone is saying Monaco is shit defensively, watch us fail to score even once. ::

Watch us Dybala/Higgy scoring.

Rudy Garcia: "Juve's defense is one of the best in football history. Higuain is more complete than Falcao. Dybala is a phenomenon."

I don't know what to expect from this one.

We are going to obliterate Monaco. In 2000 years time people will speak of Monaco as we do of Atlantis.

It's really a jinx when that violin player is giving us such a compliments.

I'm afraid cause I see people underestimate Monaco. Sure, we're a better team and I'd expect us to go through. However, I doubt it's gonna be easy. Ligue 1 ain't super strong but it's quite surprising to see them at the first spot.

Hopefully we won't walk relaxed into this one as they will probably start aggressively.

They're much more dangerous than the average poster here gives them credit for.

 

[Raz]

It's gonna be easy. Of course it's a semi final so we shouldn't underestimate them, but it gonna be easy.

 

[Amer]

I heard Monaco pissing their pants.

Really? To me it's the exact opposite, the average poster gives them too much credit.

Mbappe is scoring for fun in the KO stages and Falcao has one of the best scoring records in Europe.

5-0

Glik is going to kick Dybala all over the field. Hopefully that soft Spanish ref will dish out the pain to the subhuman.

Yeah, this worries me.
