CL SF : Real Madrid Vs Juventus

First Leg : Juventus Vs Madrid,Tuesday,5th May.

Second Leg : Real Madrid Vs Juventus,Wednesday,13th May.

Discuss.

Pirlo will play at home if fit 100%, I hope we don't play him in the away leg.

Diamond with Marchisio holding, Pogba LCM, Vidal RCM, Pereyra CAM would be glorious.

Juve reminds me of Dortmund 2 years ago. As a Madrid fan I have a bad feeling about this.

This is going to be glorious what ever the outcome.

Both sets of teams have fans who consider their opponent the weakest left lol.

Jimmies will be rustled.

Nay.

Juventus are definitely underdogs here no matter what.Real are clear favorites but we stand a chance too.
If Juve drew Barca for example,Barca would've been overwhelming favorites imo as would Bayern.

Madrid will go through.

Prediction:

1st leg- Juve 0-1 Madrid
2nd leg- Madrid 2-1 Juve

Not a fair assessment imo.Its just one person from the Juve camp who says Madrid are weaker.While most others are very realistic about this tie and would fancy the team's chances just by virtue of being the underdog here.
Real fans on the other hand have every right to be confident.They avoided the two best teams and they just came through beating a really tough defensive team.

How can people say Juventus is the weakest team? And Casciavit, Juve losing at home 0-1? Do you even watch Juventus? They NEVER lose at home.....

Never lose at home......................?

So when you played Bayern you didn't lose 0-2?

Stop making yourself and Juve such an easy f*cking target in the General section


Madrid fans pls respond to anybody else but him.

Btw Pogba wont be playing the first leg maybe not even the second one.
A huge loss as far as Juventus are concerned.

Juve will go through

It's a fact we are the weakest team. I don't even see it as an insult.

S you're joking? That's a hugee dent in our already slim chances.. Good news is if we do progress atleast he'll be ready for the final.

Almost confirmed of not making it to the first leg.

He probably could be back before the second leg but i'm not sure Allegri would rush him in.

He'll be ready for the final

So line ups then? We know pogba isn't playing so I'd go for a 4-4-2 diamond, like in recent weeks.
Gigi
licht, Barlz, chiello, evra
Marchisio pirlo Vidal
Pererya
Tevez morata.

Although i think the actual formation on the night will be a disappointing but sturdy 3-5-2.

Need one of dem vintage performances from Peerlo.

And Bonucci has been our best CB this season.He's a sure starter.Actually tbf,if given a chance, i would start Barza-Bonucci instead.Chiellini has been a walking liability in some big games this season.

I'd play Chiellini at home, but I don't want the man who can't understand when to back off away in Spain. Another Red + Penalty/penalties situation waiting to happen.

I sort of agree with you but how often have we seen a sole barlz bonucci partnership? I'm not sure testing it out vs Madrid in a CL semi final is wise.

Also I'd take giorgio's drive and defensive aggression over bonucci' ball playing (when pirlo is on the pitch already anyway) ability. Not saying bonucci is a bad defender just I perfer chiello and barlz as a partnership.

Either way I'm happy, it's not defending I'm worried about its our chances on goal that bothers me. Even vs Monaco we were very very unconvincing infront of goal. We must be ruthless to progress.

Edit: toms got it right, chiello at home and a smarter bonucci away.

Gigi vs Casillas FTW!

Incidently,we played Barza-Bonucci against Madrid in the home game last yr and they seemed to do alright.

Kinda agree with Tom's suggestion but i dont know if Allegri would tinker too much with the defense.Just raised my concerns over Chiello here.Far from convincing this season.

Ronaldo getting injured before this tie will be good as gold......

we have achieved what we set out to do and a last 4 is even overachieving, but opportunities like this come once in a while for a team that has 10$ eating in a 100$ restaurant, i say if Dortmund and Atl made the finals we can too..... tho its going to be very tough.... but Madrid are the team most of us wanted over the other two who are in red hot form, I feel this game will come down to how much we neutralize Ronaldo.....

i'd keep Chiellini out of the away game too and hope Allegri doesn't lose his mind and go to the Bernabeu with the intention of inviting pressure and playing a defensive 5-3-2 cos that would be our doom, we should go there and match Real boot for boot... if e win the first leg and not concede by say like 2-0 I can see us sailing through....

def underdogs for this tie though....
