we won one, chocked in one, and got robbed in another against a very strong madrid side, still cant take away what they accomplished, i dont think we will ever see a side that makes it to 3 straight CL finals
Man U and Barca nearly did it. And Milan were by far the strongest team in 2004 but they chocked in typical Ancelotti style. And I don't see how we got robbed, we just fucked it up against Madrid. Really should have been at least 2/3 + the UEFA Cup in 95.

It should've been 4
We played great in England and should have won, but we were crap in Turin. Even at 2-0 up I thought we might go out.

personally i think the 96-98 juventus is the best side we ever had, i mean we are talking about 3 straight CL finals, unheard of stuff, we were amazing
Especially in 97. That is probably in the top 3 luckiest wins in a final together with Man U in 99 and Liverpool in 05.

Dude
---------------Buffon
------Thuram-Montero-Ferrara-Zambrotta
---Camoranesi - Davids-Tacchinardi - Nedved
------------ --Del Piero - Trezeguet
Aside from Tacchinardi,Ferrara i would pick the 2003 players anytime of the day
Buffon (2003) > Buffon (2015)
Thuram> Lichsteiner
Montero> Bonucci
Ferrara = Chiellini
Zambrotta> Evrà
Camoranesi > Pirlo (2015)
Davids > Marchisio
Tacchinardi < Pogba
Nedved > Vidal
Tevez>= Del Piero (2003)
Llorente/Morata < Trezeguet
Carlos is great and everything, but no way. Del Piero was in great form that season.
Btw, we started the final with this ridiculous formation:
Buffon
Thuram-Ferrara-Tudor-Montero
Zambrotta-Tacchinardi-Davids
Camoranesi
Trezeguet-Del Piero
Tudor got injured, Birindelli came on and Montero moved to the middle. Camo was a disaster as AMC and got subbed at HT for Conte I think. Then Davids got injured and for some reason Zalayeta came on instead of Di Vaio.

What about 96?
I do agree though, that 85 is the best Juventus team ever, well, at least in the modern era anyways. Amazing side.

Canadian Tire is notoriously bad for letting its employees take vacation time... Lion will not be allowed to leave his cash register for this trip.
I heard through the grapevine, they won't even let him watch CL final. They booked him for a shift with the other check-out girls.
I haven't seen the 85 side, but wouldn't call football before 1990 "modern era"
