Nedved might not play, thats a big blow off.. STILL JUVE ALL THE WAY.... WE ALWAYS HAVE THE SPIRIT TO WIN..Fingures crossed, hearts/minds set and eyes on TV..... We will WIN.

Real recent form is scary, in addition our racent form is even scarier
BUT our woriors will do whats necessary to WIN.

Figo doesn't fear Juve
Friday 18 February, 2005
Luis Figo missed a penalty in their Champions’ League defeat to Juventus in 2003, but claims Real Madrid are the favourites to go through this time.
“Juve are a great squad, but they are not invincible,” he told Spanish newspaper ‘As’. “We just want to win and keep going forward, as what happened in the past does not concern us anymore.”
Portuguese international Figo saw Gianluigi Buffon save a crucial penalty in the 3-1 Turin victory that sealed the Bianconeri’s passage to the Final, where they eventually lost on penalties to Milan.
“There is still so much talk about that spot-kick,” continued Figo, “but it wasn’t so important to me. We lost 3-1, so it was not decisive.”
Real Madrid have struggled so far in Europe and scraped through in second place, whereas Juve remain unbeaten, but the former World Player of the Year is confident of taking revenge.
“To win 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday would be a good result for us,” stated the midfielder.

I want this team to start against Real Madrid:
----Del Piero--Trezeguet (they know eachother and have rutine)
Nedved-Blasi-Emerson-Camo (No changes there)
Zamb-Canna-Thuram-Zebina (no changes there either)
----------Buffon (who else?)
This because of Zlatans inexperience in such GREAT games. Okay, he can come in if the play upfront needs improvement or someone gets injured. Zlatan should be taken in, in the 2nd half. OR if Trezeguet scores

Looks like suicide to me. Nice to try out sometime, but not against Madrid.
They'll do a lot of attacking and we need some cover up in the midfield to counter Zidane and the possesion game that they'll play.
..........
Juve's only chance of scoring without conceding a lot is if Blasi and Emerson are playing, with Camo staying back a lot to help, and if juve pull off the "hack the ball to Zlatan" tactic while also hoping that the ball goes forward when his legs get tangled with the defenders and also hope that he does something well (like shoot towards GOAL or pass to another person) once he dribbles/smashes through.

I'd go for a 5-2-2-1 (or a tight 5-4-1) for this special occasion.
Note: I didn't add Nedved because i don't think he'll play a big part due to injury.
This would even be a better formation to use in the 2nd leg if we drew or won the 1st leg.

** For those of you who think i'm an idiot. I know Montero is not a LB.

Code:
----------------------- Buffon ------------------------
-Zebina--Canna --Thuram--Montero--Zambro-
-------------------Blasi-----Emerson----------------
-------- Camo------------------------Del Piero------
-----------------------Zlatan---------------------------...........
Code:
On the field, the formation will look a lot like this:
----------------------- Buffon ------------------------
--Zebina---Canna ---Thuram---Montero---------
-------------------Blasi-----Emerson---Zambrotta
-- Camo--------------Del Piero----------------------
-------------------Zlatan------------------------------
