Milan are a great club with a very rich history. And they do seem to perform in the CL very consistently. However, Milan today is not a great team. They have downgraded quite significantly, and yet despite this, they do manage to find results. Good for them.

Robinho and Kaka today would not make it in any top team. In fact, the same can be said about most of their players baring a few. If they manage to hold Barca to a draw at home by practically playing with a ten man defense, it's not an amazing accomplishment. And the fact that some people think it is, shows you where Milan is in the football world. Mind you, this goes for all Italian teams including us.

We've become second rate European teams. Italian teams were once great, and because of a superb history, still are, but off the pitch, not on it.

I think I've sufficiently prepared myself for the forthcoming humiliation.

Forza Juve!

Milan almost won the game of Robinho had controlled the ball 1v1 with the keeper.

Of all the Italian sides it seems to be consistently juventus that can't perform well constantly, particularly against perceived weaker opposition.

Lippi's Juve almost made it to 4 CL finas in a row between 1996 and 1999.

We're just unlucky, really really unlucky in this competition.

So basicly anyone can come to training? Or press are given special passes? Can a oponents coach come and see what's happening?
Not anyone, unless it's an open training (which it usually isn't at Juve). But the press do have quite a lot of access. Someone has to take the pics to fill all those newspapers :D

Yes. Madrid, with all their attacking prowess will just roll over and allow us to score 2 goals without reply :D
They wont just roll over
Chiellini will shut down Ronaldo! Di Maria will cause us some problems if he plays.. Bale will not perform if he plays (not fit)
Buffon is a question for this game! Which kind of Buffon we will see?!

I bet we will be more concentrated in this game and will not leak goals

Madrid always had a great attack but we still beat them 2-0 with DP...
We dont have the DP kind of player which we surely lack but I still think we will win

I do however think we wont win this competition and the winners will eventually be Madrid but it doesnt mean they cant be beaten on the way
Chelsea Real Barcelona and Bayern will reach the CL semi finals

By the way we have our tendency of qualifying at the last minute so we might even lose twice and still qualify after beating Gala and Copenhagen (Juve 8pts Gala 7 or 8 pts)

So much versatility in this RM squad. They can easily change their formation depending on how the game goes. From 4-4-2 to 4-2-3-1, or 4-3-3. And the scariest thing is that they're coached by Italian who is perfectly familiar with our game. Few months ago on some conference he presented an article on how to set up play vs teams that use 3 men back line, as he encountered this particular problem in France. Might be the reason why Conte decided to change our formation.
