Nope. How many chances did Monaco have after the first 4-5 minutes in the second half? 1? They were trailing at home and did shit.

They did create good chances in the first half after the first 15 minutes. The Allegri wizened up and set the team back.

For a team playing at home and that is known to attack so well, they came up short. Very short.

Poor by Monaco, they're out of their depth, nice run tho.

by Arquitecto Wed May 03, 2017 9:46 pm

Might be pure hindsight and we know Dani hates the Barça management but letting go the best right-back in the world is criminal and Max has milked Alves in his tweaked role to perfection.

Xaví was right that the first signing Barça should make is Dani back in their team. Best RB in the world at the moment. Ridiculous performer from deep.

by Lucifer Wed May 03, 2017 9:46 pm

Juve defend so good that it was actually entertaining to watch.

by Blue Barrett Wed May 03, 2017 9:48 pm

Great tactics from Max. As I've said for weeks, this is Juventus' year. The gods of the CL are on their side.

He has been for years still imo, people just underrate him because he's not the consistent force of nature from a stamina perspective anymore because he's getting old.

He's still fantastic when it matters.

Today was his best game in Juve and it came as a wing back. This is his best role no doubt, where Barzagli is there for cover and Alves can do his thing.

I still can't forget that he was our worst fullback since Marco Motta during the first half of the season though.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed May 03, 2017 10:23 pm

He might not have the stamina anymore to cover it, it's just everytime i see someone disrespect him come the end of that season he's always putting in great performances.

There's was probably like one year max at Barca where it didn't happen, his longevity and consistent quality to me has become underrated somehow.

by farfan Wed May 03, 2017 10:31 pm

This game is another example why I always had doubts over Bakayoko.

Monaco should con some premier league suckers out of their money and get a cheaper and more reliable replacement imo. hmm

As a fan he can be frustrating to watch sometimes but more often then not he makes it up especilly at bigger stage he has knack of turning up. Was like soulmate of messi, the amount of understanding they had was just amazing.

Another masterclass by Allegri...

Alves and Higuain with all world performances...

Where is Sportsczy with his stupid jokes now? Time to shut up and accept Juve as the best team in the world...

Forza Juve!!!

FINO ALLA FINE!!!!

He's 22 years old. Relax.

That's what some Inter fans told themselves when they got Kondogbia for 40 million+ and made him their highest paid player.

He might end up becoming the next Yaya Touré, but so far i'm getting strong K-dog vibes from him.

Not over completely, but yes, Juve got this, unfortunately.

by Casciavit Thu May 04, 2017 3:13 am

The GOAT RB still putting on amazing performances at 34 even though he's past his peak Proud

by S Mon May 08, 2017 1:36 pm

Cannot wait

Hope we concede here though. Would be considered a good omen if/once we make the final imo

by rincon Mon May 08, 2017 8:05 pm

Tomorrow is the big day!

Rumored line up

Buffon; Sandro, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli; Mandzukic, Khedira, Pjanic, Alves; Higuain, Dybala

by Luca Mon May 08, 2017 8:51 pm

I wanted to see Cuadrado, Dybala and Alves all play and lay down the sweet chin music off of the right wing to be honest

by Warrior Tue May 09, 2017 3:28 am

Chiellini is out for the final if he gets (again !) a yellow card.

BBC + Sandro is the proof that Allegri does not underestimate Monaco's talent and he respects them. I don't think Monaco will score 3 goals past Buffon but we can't play this match on a light foot whatever the odds... need to kill this quick with a goal in the first 15 minutes.

by Firenze Tue May 09, 2017 3:35 am

Monaco to grab an early goal to keep it interesting IMO. Comeback is on.

Need to prepare for my main event feud ffs. Good practice before the big one I guess.

He is not. You need 3 yellows to miss a game and they got wiped out after the quarters. The only way to miss the final is to get a red.

by Turok_TTZ Tue May 09, 2017 6:41 am

I don't see any comeback unless Monaco throw the gauntlet and even then it's a stretch.

It matters not, Juventus is our ideal opponent anyways. Free Ride to the first cl title defense since the rebranding here we come.
