GOAT keeper
Best defense in the world
Top 5 CF in the world
Top 5 CM in the world
top U23 talent in the world.
Unbelievable depth

Team looks legit. Should win the group this time and reach semi's before being knocked out by one of the big teams.

Might get K.O'd in the groups and run in to United if United can make it a bit further this time. Having said that, Europa is no laughing matter. Especially when your only real striker is a 40 year old lad who can't run any more.

Congratulations to Juventus on Winning Champions League 2016-2017

When Rooney can start as a CM, anything is possible in 2016 bruh

I could see that happening too, would be a good match that tbh, good to see Pogba get a chance to return to Turin so soon We would probably rest Ibra tbh and let main man Rashford run wild instead though in Europa League. Plus don't Juve have some history in Europa League? still remember them getting smashed by Fulham a few years ago in it. Time for redemption IMO. See you in the knockouts. inb4 we get knocked out in the groups by some amateur team from Gibraltar.

Serious lack of Higuain was shit 5 years ago so it changes nothing in this thread tbh.

Best squad in the world.

4th favorite to win CL after Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Atletico has to be thrown in there, made a couple good signings and are the same stubborn team.

So in the CL final, this was our line up:


Now our line up is (for all intensive purposes, assuming everyone is fit and Higuain is signed):


I think this team is quite comfortably better for the following reasons.

First, we have much better depth.

Second, the attack is much, much improved- while I love Tevez and Morata, Higuain and Dybala are ahead.

Third, Pjanic, he has consistently been one of the best creative forces in Serie A for a few seasons now.

Fourth, Dani Alves and Alex Sandro are fantastic attacking wing backs, this is an element that is night and day different from 2015- on top of that, we have retained Evra and Lichtsteiner.

Fifth, the defense: Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli, Benatia, Rugani- this is a great core and group of central defenders.

Sixth, that season was Pirlo's worst in a Juventus shirt as well as Vidal's worst. Tevez was fantastic and seemingly irreplaceable for Juventus but Dybala had an amazing debut season.

For me, overall this squad has more quality and in the 3-5-2, the wing backs alone are an improvement on the 2015 team.

The real question will be the midfield because of Marchisio's long term injury and Khedira's injury proneness.

Anyways, just my opinion. Everyone will have their preference but for me, this squad is better equipped.

Inferior wing backs

Pirlo was finished then in big games, I say that as Pirlo's #1 worshipper.

Dybala > Tevez

Higuain > Morata


Vidal was injured and plain bad that season.

Our midfield is a bit weaker, wing backs and attack much improved.

And we're not done with our MF yet.
