We would be out many times before the final if it weren't for Carlitos and Alvaro's timely goals.
Also, we had awesome midfields in 2012-13 and 2013-14 too, but those seasons were failures, especially 2013-14, because our strikers were very poor in Europe that season. (Tevez had just one goal in 12 games.)
Not accurate! Some goals were luck some were conceded by luck overall we deserved to be in the final!

id say Marchisio is also at that level.
And you would be wrong!

Khedira - Marchiso - Pjanic doesn't exist. Stop saying that's our midfield. They won't start even 15 games out of 50. One of Khedira and Marchisio will be missing most of the time. On paper it looks great, but it's much too optimistic to think these 3 will start for us and that's why we need one great mid. idk what's the laters about Asamoah but he looked solid in preseason, he could be a great LCM if, again, if fit 'cause he has muscles, workrate and good shoot / pass.
I suppose I forgot that Marchisio played 2600 minutes last season before his injury, and Khedira played 1900 minutes.

They started 21 games together last year before Marchisio's ACL tear....

Barca --- Rakitic-Busquets-Iniesta
Real Madrid --- Modric-Casemiro-Kroos
Bayern --- Thiago-Alonso-Vidal

They're all very good... But none of them are the strength of their team, nor are they the overpowering midfield that:

Marchisio-Pirlo-Pogba
---------Vidal

was... Nor even that Vidal-Marchisio-Pogba was when we played 3-5-2.

And our midfield right now, when healthy, of Khedira-Marchisio-Pjanic is on the level of any of those 3 midfields imo.
Nah. Need another top midfielder to be at the level of those three midfields.

Well, we may want to thank Roma because they are ***tkicking Porto. Maybe we will be able to get Herrera at a reasonable price if they don't make UCL groups.

And when I say ****kicking I'm going by the gameplay since it is only 1-0, but is it in Portugal and Roma is making Porto look like Avellino.
He has been meh so far

Juventus “would’ve signed Gonzalo Higuain even without selling Paul Pogba,” insists director general Beppe Marotta.

The two deals essentially cancelled each other out, as Higuain’s release clause was activated from Napoli for €90m while Manchester United broke the world transfer record by paying €105m plus €5m bonuses for Pogba.

“We respected what Paul wanted,” explained Marotta on Sky Sport Italia when asked why that move had gone through.

“However, I would’ve signed Gonzalo anyway even without selling Pogba.

Higuain is the best buy of my career.”


Many would point to Pogba as the smartest deal, because he was signed as a free agent from Manchester United in 2012 and sold back to the same club for €105m four years later.
Some really strong words there :D
