Hoping for Monaco. Prediction of who we actually get? Monaco. Just feels right. If we do, the games are gonna be completely unreal fun to watch.
Juve's record in the semis is really impressive, 8 wins out of 11. Record in the final on the other hand ...
I prefer Atletico, we know them better as opponents and i think we have the upper hand vs them mentally. AS Monaco seems to be on fire at the moment and our defense isn't the best right now. As long as it's not Juve i guess i'm ok with either team to be honest.
I hope we draw you. I honestly want to face you guys again over 2 legs. However most importantly whoever we get, I hope we play the first leg at home in Turin. Huge advantage at this stage.
The live feed on UEFA isn't that live, I saw the match-up in their draw result before the ball was taken out.
We wouldn't be playing in white in the final apparantly. I also preferred Atletico, so a good draw for me. Would have liked to end it at home, but ok.
The good thing is that we were clearly better than them in the League both home and away. Need to cut the BS though. Away goals hurt in the CL.
This is the perfect draw imo, this is exactly what I wanted. We have the first leg at Bernabeu. Something like 1:0 or even 2:0 would be perfect. Just keep a clean sheet. Then we have the 2nd leg at their stadium. We're super hard to be kept off the scoring sheet. Away goals will be crucial. I'm predicting a Monaco - Real Madrid final.
Yeah. I wanted to face you guys ASAP, however Monaco is fine for us as well. I kind of would of liked to start in Turin, but with Monaco thats not as important as it would have been with you guys or Atletico if we faced them.
Yeah not like it's random or anything, just what UEFA want. And how exactly did UEFA rig the draw? These conspiracy theories are so ingrained they are taken as fact without any substance. Unreal. Fair draw though, any of the teams are tough, and we know how to beat this lot. More offside goals please!
Streams are often a little behind. It doesn't surprise me at all that you saw the name appear on the live before the ball picked out. Usually they are a few seconds behind the real action.
Yeah, Juve would have been my 2nd choice. So they beat a Barça in shambles, so did Malaga. So far the best opposition they faced have been Sevilla, Porto and Barça. They haven't really been tested yet to the point where I'd say I want to avoid them. In fact I think we just beat a better team resoundedly over 2 legs. Doesn't mean we will waltz over them or anything or that they can't beat us (any team can beat us at this stage, it's the semis of the CL) just don't see any reason where I'd go "let's try to avoid that". Being an Italian team doesn't mean as much as it used to, much like being a black beast.
Juve-Atletico would have been interesting from a tactical standpoint. Monaco might be too naive for this Juve side. They beat City n BVB who have no defense. Juve can absorb pressure and hit them on counter.
Winning against Barca is crucial now. If we can maintain healthy lead, then we can rotate and keep our players fresh. If we lose, things can get complicated real fast. Especially without healthy CBs.
