78' 1-1. Saviola collects the ball from Reiziger on the left and shoots low past Buffon. The ball deflected off Montero.

Ugh, not good, but still doable. The Nou Camp can be pretty intense though.
Why didn't Di Viao, Salas, or Zalayeta start as a forward as opposed to Nedved? I think Juve would've been more dangerous has this happened.

Arghhhhhhh
We just don't look like we have that ability to kill a game off.. I knew they were going to score against us. Di Vaio late in the game had a great chance to make it 2-1 and puts it wide.
We have to stop giving up stupid goals and show a bit of potency in attack. Del Piero is obviously not back to full form and that we played Nedved as our second forward shows we have not got sufficient backup. We really have to look at the attack over the offseason.
Now we need the win or large score draw in Spain which on todays performance is hard to see come off. BUT with backs against the wall Juve can do anything (not that I am particularly confident)...
Ok so I probably will get up in the wee hours of the morning to watch them again. :o

Salas is injured.
Nedved has more flair and has the more "make or break it" chances for Juve than Zalayeta. Di Vaio has not been up to par lately.
