We do need to give our team the benefit of the doubt at the end, I didn't know this, but that Benatia goal for Bayern was the first header goal we conceded in 2015 (that too because we left him unmarked), so I'd say we aren't that bad in the air.

Feel so relieved.
While beating Mehdrid in the final would be equivalent to attaining nirvana,losing to them would have left me emotionally scarred for life.So a big thanks to Juve.

Can only repeat what everyone else has said. Playing Madrid, never mind losing to them, would be enough stress to put me in a hospital for a while.

I'm also more confident about playing Juventus. Though i do not expect to win the midfield battle and they will come in with a great plan. It will be a tough game either way.

Losing this wouldn't hurt me that much. I mean I'd lose every right to make use of the term Serie zZzzzZ from then on but compared to losing a Clasico CL final which would make Mehdrid back-to-back winners ... Jesus.

Having said that. Evra vs. Messi in 2015.

never posted in the barca forum before, thanks for the support v Madrid and hope for a great game in Berlin, you guys seem to show more respect to Juve compared to some of the Madrid fans who were over the moon when they got to know they would face us....

They seem to have a superiority complex; which is wierd considering they don't really win that much. Best to ignore them

And congrats again on ya'lls great run! Looking forward to a great game! Kid you not I bought the away/Blue Pirlo shirt today I was so happy lol

Wahahahah love it! Same the thought of Real ebating us to retain the title is too much of a risk, so Juve is just fine Although to have been able to witness a Classico win over Real to take the trophy would have been historic and immense joy. I really thought that was the more likely scenario.

Anyway, As long as we dont go complacent and be hungry we should win it. Tactically especially never underestimate an Italian team. So Im glad its a one of match actually otherwise u get the problems Real faced with away goals and park the bus mindsets and things.

I hope Suarez just forgets the past and focus on owning defenders or more accurately just play like hes been doing in the past few months. As long as we perform and dont mess up, we will win it.

TREBLE ON!!!

Juas, he created the best chance for Juventus yesterday in just 15 minutes on the field.

In the first leg the same.

Excelent analysis of Juventus from Dani, I agree very much. However, if they go catennaccio it will be very hard to score on them too. They are a solid team, and their are brave with the ball too.

we are through and rival (bitter) is out  could there be any better news..
Hope we finish the business this week before team goes for rest after such a tremendous marathon. Every players and staff of this team deserve respect for fighting to the end.

anyone know when is the cup final?? before or after CL ?

Not exactly hard to look good as a sub when everyone else is tired, there's a reason he gets hardly any minutes at all.

Because Morata is better / doing better.
Far from being a scrub or useless.

If it's so easy to create chances and look dangerous when everyone is tired, I wonder why Chicharito did shit and Carlo didn't sub in Jesé to win the game easily.

Because Carlo doesn't trust kids, that's pretty obvious at this point.

They're not to be underestimated, however I'm confident that we'll be able to lift the trophy in the end, hopefully all 3 of LL, Copa and CL

I dont think Llorente is useless. Actually I think he is very useful in the right conditions because he changes the game when he comes on.

Before he came on, they were defending and then instantly giving the ball away. They had nothing to aim for up front. They didnt have the pace to get behind them and Tevez kept losing balls which came to his feet. Him and Morata were just getting tired and frustrated and when Llorente come on all of a sudden they were able to keep Madrid pressure off them, even if just for a little bit.

Look at the 10 minutes before he came on, I was saying that I dont think Juve were going to hold on if it continued like that because it became attack vs defence.

But when he came on, the long balls were sticking and it allowed the defence a breather as he kept the long balls and touched it down to the nearest guy in support.

I think Llorente had the biggest impact of any sub and generally a real impact in the game, which is odd to say considering he only played like 8 minutes.

If that stat is true then that's extremely remarkable.

The second coach who does the tactic for corners, whoever he is, is pretty good.

Unzue. Or was a rethoric comment?

No, honest question, he does the corner tactics right?

Yes.

First, congratulations to Juventus! You deserve to go to the final. Wish you all the best.

To me, I'd like Barça to win the CL. I'm a die hard Real Madrid fan but I also love La Liga and the way it has dominated everything in recent years is just majestic. I'd like that to continue.

So best of luck to both teams and may the best win.

Thanks for the nice words. I share similar sentiments as you in that I always prefer a LL team over others. All the politics aside, our arch-rivalry has been a catalyst for either team to constantly improve itself, and compete better at all levels. My personal experience of madridistas has been positive and rewarding. In general, I find your lot more bearable than the Buyern crowd. I certainly enjoyed the thrashing you handed to them last season.

I'd like to have your same serenity mate

Interesting perspective.

Personally I hope Madrid gets relegated to the lowest possible division and never sees the light of day again, but that's just me.
