Are you kidding me? Arsenal is the complete opposite of Liverpool last year. They're playing a fluid and very technical football, which is very entertaining to watch.

nah, in the CL they played defensivly, something I have never saw from them.

Arsenal will be a bigger surprise than you can imagine.

Arsenal have not been tested yet! Forget Real cos they got no hunger anymore!

Overpaid mercinaries!

Really? well I saw the opposite in both games. I watched both legs and saw how much desperate Real were and what level of football Arsenal are playing. Their tactics are so much advanced and the players are so much thirsty.

The 4th goal was F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C

No, just saw the highlights. But they had one of those nights when everything clicked and it's a joy to see a result like that!

 

[Maresca]

Lyon will reach the final.. mark my words.

 

[Azzurri7]

They're such an organized team.

 

[Byrone]

I always said that id like Juve to avoid Lyon cause their fluid passing & strong work ethic makes them unstoppable.

 

[Byrone]

Lyon will reach the final.. mark my words.

Dont worry i also feel that way.

 

[Maresca]

TBH, If juve is not gonna win the CL, then I wish them to win. They have been playing good for years now.

 

[Azzurri7]

Indeed.

Maresca, can you send me an SMS while I'm training and tell me what was the draw.......Most of my friends here won't be able to follow it.

couldn't agree with u more alan,they have just been superb class & hopefully they wont clash with Juve.

 

[swag]

It bears repeating: Lyon has as much of a chance as anyone in the field in winning the whole thing right now.

 

[Stephan]

but juninho will miss the first game in the next round and thats a big lost for even a team like lyon.

 

[tassard]

IMO we must calm down and start everything from the beggining.After all we are in the quarter finals and we must play to reach the semis.Let's forget what happened and that we did not play well and wish for a good start from the next game.
You know when you fail somewhere many times you say <<if I had another chance I would do many things different>>.Maybe Capello thought like that when the score was still 1-1 and suddenly he took this chance.

WE ARE STILL ALIVE GUYS...

From reading the last few posts or so it seems Juve fans are scared of Arsenal???

Arsenal are not THAT great a side and the 'hunger' you mention is irrelevant. Sure here in England everyone is confident in England's only last representative - but they have no intelligence on football outside these small isles.

I don't think Arsenal were that impressive against Real. Madrid were tactically unprepared at the Bernabeu and posed no problems. Arsenal should have taken more than that 1-0 advantage where Henry really showed both aspects of his game; the brilliance but also inefficiency. Wenger used the 4-5-1 system in both legs which he adopted from the FA Cup final - and whilst this tinkering is better than his 4-4-2 'no alternative' that has failed them for many years in Europe did more to nullify Real than destroy them. Real Madrid missed key chances at Highbury that would have changed the complexion of the tie - but this is what to expect from such players now.

I expected a Juventus struggle against Werder as the German's are a crazy team and Capello's tactics in Europe or his transmission to the players are not always carried through. But I can't see them failing at this stage to English opposition and also looking at the semi-final with an almost definite passage to the final.

Exactly the same has been said about Liverpool last year.
