You're in desperate need of a reality check. The fact that we were able to hold out as long as we did against them is a miracle. It's naive to think that right now, Bayern aren't a class (or two) above us.
Probably the best striker in the world (Lewa, completely forgetting Muller), some of the best wingers in the world (Robben & Ribery), some of the best midfielders in the world, and probably the best goal keeper in the world. Managed by probably the best manager in the world.
We are over achievers. They had an off-day, thought the job was done, but that still wasn't enough for us. We have maybe 1-2 players in our whole squad that have a shot of being starters in Bayern. Almost every Bayern player would be an insta-starter for us.
Let's not kid ourselves just because we can cruise-control our way to one Scudetto after another by beating the likes of Empoli and Chievo while our "competitors" struggle - Bayern are on another level, and the fact that we made it look like they weren't is an achievement that should not be scoffed at.
Lol, dude you're exaggerating too much now. I myself think that Bayern is superior to us (still) but you should be speaking exactly the opposite. Despite the collapse we had in Munich which is very bad, we have a lot of positives to take out from the tie this time. We fucked it up in Turin but we managed to fight back against Bayern that is only second to Barca. We also shook them at their turf, executing Allegri's game plan perfectly for 60-70 minutes. We collapsed, fucked up badly but there are still positives.
Last time we played them (under Conte) we were left with no positives out of the tie whatsoever! We closed the gap on them and that's another important thing.
Allegri will extend his contract with Juventus until 2018 with an option for another year on Monday or Tuesday. He'll earn €5m/yr. [Gds]
Totally deserves the raise.
Agreed. Allegri is the best Italian coach right now, only second to Ancelotti (for some it's debatable). Conte would be above Allegri if he wasn't such a stubborn mule but that's none of our business for now. Maybe some EPL will teach him something new.
Last season we were almost perfect under Allegri, the double + CL final, before the season started nobody was even dreaming of something like that. This season he did even better IMO, rebuilding from the disaster start, after so many changes in the team with so many kids stepping in. If he wins the double again this season I'll have no questions to ask tbh.
LOL, Moggi should just shut the fuck up. The guy is commenting on coaches while he had Capello leading his Juve which turned out much worse than it is under Allegri, while Capello had a much better squad. Funny to hear from him now when Allegri works on a much smaller budget in comparison to Capello's. Moggi is a Galliani type of dinosaur these days, he simply has lost it.
Guardiola got the upper hand in the end thanks to his bench options which turned the tie around.
