Interisti sing that as well...then add on everything else about them. For Milan, Berlusconi is the capo di tutti capi, no more needs to be said.
Fiorentina fans are the most famous ones for singing Heysel. And then again, you can love them all you want, I know I am extremely happy at what they deserved last evening.

    Btw: How much does a first place in Europa League, for Juve, count in the EU-co-eff and what about how well the national team performs?
    Winning the Europa League brings almost as many Uefa points as winning the CL. The difference is a minor one and it's because in CL the teams get more bonus points.

    The results of the NT have no influence in the UEFA coefficient which decides the CL and Europa League spots.

    I'll give you an example with Juve and Barca.

    Win in CL brings 2 points and a draw brings 1 point. Qualifying for the next round brings 1 bonus points.
    So if Barca wins all their matches and win the CL then they will get:
    - 4 points for beating Stuttgart twice + 1 bonus point for making it to the quarters
    - 4 points for beating their opponent in the quarters twice+ 1 bonus pt for making it to the semis
    - 4 points for beating their opponent in the semis twice+ 1 bonus pt for making it to the final
    - 2 points for beating the team in the final and 0 bonus points for winning the CL.

    In total Barca will win 17 points. These 17 points are divided with the number of Spanish teams who played in European cups this year and since 8 Spanish teams played in Europe this season, you have 17/8 = 2.125 pts.

    That's how many points Barca will add to the Spanish coefficient if they win all their matches from now on and win the CL.
    They'll add 2.125 pts to Spain.
    ----
    Now Juve:

    Win in EUROPA League brings 2 pts while a draw brings 1 point (same as CL)
    - 4 points for beating Ajax twice + 0 bonus point for making it to the 1/8 finals
    - 4 points for beating our opponent in the 1/8 finals twice+ 0 bonus pt for making it to the quarters
    - 4 points for beating our opponent in the quarters twice+ 1 bonus pt for making it to the semis
    - 4 points for beating our opponent in the semis twice and 1 bonus points for making it to the final.
    - 2 points for beating our opponent in the final + 0 bonus points for winning Europa League.

    In total Juve will win 20 points. These 20 points are divided with the number of Italian teams who played in European cups this year and since 7 Italian teams played in Europe this season, you have 20/7 = 2.857 pts.

    That's how many points Juvea will add to the Italian coefficient if we win all our matches from now on and win the Europa League.
    Juve will add 2.857 pts to Italy.

    Even more than what Barca will bring to Spain in such a hypothetical scenario.

    Of course, this is only from now till the final. Overall, through out the season, the teams who play in CL get to win more bonus points than the teams in Europa League.

    Interesting info:
    Last year Shakhtar (who won UEFA Cup) won 29.3 pts overall while Barca won 28.6. The Uefa cup winner won more Uefa coefficient points than the CL winner.

    I'm not the biggest fan nor the biggest detractor of Viola and Bayern, but at least I respect the latter. Not much to respect when it comes to Fiorentina.

    Arsenal once again showed they are lackluster and very disappointing, just like they usually do in the Champions League. In basically every match they have played for the past four years in Europe minus a couple easy ones, they have been poor yet squeaked by on weak goals. They will probably do the same against Porto in London, playing like crap but getting lucky breaks.

    Barca - Stuttgart aint gonna be that interesting IMO, the German team will be looking for an honorable goal-less draw.

    Those are my games of choice aswell, as they're both no brainers really, compared to the other games.

    Inter - Chelsea oughta be really interesting and the other game is just Barca showing their magic, though the game in Germany could be interesting I guess.
