[Linebreak]

Dude osvaldo scored an offside goal.

Yep, Buffon can score an offside goal too but it wouldn't count would it.

So after this game, Serie A will be 5th league in Europe??

 

[Völler]

It takes brains to win in Europe. The lungs and the heart aren't enough without brains. Instead, we have dumb and dumber in our defense. Chiellini and Caceres are talentless and dumb, while Bonucci is just dumb.

Well, was an easy game for us. No need to push for a goal, just control the game.
With 10.... we trained twice with porto and got 2 wins.
With 9, thats new for us, but well done

When I think about juve i remember Ferrara, Torricelli, Di Livio, Conte, Del Piero, Vieri, Deschamps, Tacchinardi, etc. Your team now as a lot of known players with a "name".. but you play bad against teams well organized and that press high, maybe you need to change your tactics.

See u in Torino again
And now you all know BENFICA

Like Aush said in the WA group, Vucinic was the MOTM for us today, add him in the poll.

Will probably receive a lot of hate from this but I feel that Lichtsteiner is severely overrated.

He's a RB - will never offer anything in attack against good opposition.

 

[Fint]

So we lose a CL place then?

 

[Dostoevsky]

This match showed that we need a player like Verratti and wingers. Badly.

Those individual mistakes are a result of the lack of talent.
Chiellini, for example, is considered the best Italian CB, but that's mostly because of his heart and physicality, not his talent. Vidal's story is similar. It's great to have players like them in your team, but it becomes a problem when as many as 9 of your 10 field starters are less talented than they are physically prepared to play football.

It takes brains to win in Europe. The lungs and the heart aren't enough without brains. Instead, we have dumb and dumber in our defense. Chiellini and Caceres are talentless and dumb, while Bonucci is just dumb.

Chiellini I wouldn't say is dumb, he's a bit clumsy at times but he's still one of the best in the world in his position. The errors we see are just a lack of concentration, and I think it's down to how easily we beat people in Italy and how naive our players and coach are in Europe.

It's frustrating really, we have to see something different next year but to miss a final in our own stadium really is gutting

 

[BENFICA]

It was a easy game against corrottos

Conte blames the referee for the elimination

 

[fredrik]

I think Benfica may have done us a huge favor tonight. If we consider the run up to the next mercato and the assurances Conte will perhaps seek.

Hopefully, but doubtful with conte. Imo he would rather fall on his grintamade 3-5-2 shaped sword

 

[feriorca]

it should have been marchisio for pogba and gio for asamoah and pepe/giaccherini for licht. the lack of options on the sides costs us

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

No we don't lose a CL place we'd need to be overtaken by a couple more leagues

Which isn't nearly as improbable as it would've sounded a few years ago considering the best team in the league is renowned for choking in Europe, the 2nd and 3rd best are a sure bet for a group of death because they're new on the scene and in lower pots normally, and the Milanese duo have gon' dun' goofed away their hope of CL football for half a decade.

Man, I'm watching Juve since 1996 as a supporter. So much bitterness through the years but still we have to get up and start again next season. For me EL was the perfect chance to start our glorious european comeback, but...

I love this team even more now and I hope through this hard time our players and staff will learn to be stronger. Cheers to all of the juventini Congratulations to the Benfica fans, you did exactly what was needed to go through. Good luck

 

[Trequartista]

Conte blames the referee for the elimination

We're never going to win anything in Europe with him as our coach.

 

[Citizen Unknown]

We wont loose a CL place the rankings of leagues and national teams will stop this from happening

 

[Mike-e-y]

Conte blames the referee for the elimination

Quite pathetic really. He should look in the mirror when he appoints blame

 

[Citizen Unknown]

We're never going to win anything in Europe with him as our coach.

Yes

 

[KingGale]

I think we shouldn't blame the ref or anything, and I think it's bad Conte chose to do that. This loss is on us, let's accept it like the men we are, congratulate those who beat us and improve for next year. What are losses if not incentives to do better?
