whats the point of mandzukic if you got Ronaldo? I don't understand.. he's not doing anything extra .
Height. They're crossing the ball from out wide & aiming for the big men in the middle. Mandzukic is more likely to score a header than Dybala ever is.

he's pure gold in games like this and I wouldn't be susprised if he scores today. him and Ronaldo are probably the best attacking duo when it comes to set pieces. nightmare to defend against.

The crazy thing about him is the gap he's made in the CL with Messi whereas Messi himself has great stats.
Its remarkable stuff in a game like this I would take Ronaldo over Messi anyway. Messi is too weak mentally he does not have the same drive and mentality.

Group stage but ya I guess that's cool.;)
:D

To be fair, if I had to pick between Ronaldo or Messi for this Juve team right now, in this position? It would be Ronaldo, 100 times out of 100.

I prefer and rate higher Messi overall but in those particular situations, I would take Cristiano everytime. It is no contest
Fair enough I respect that. Big second half now !

Btw. could anybody tell me why the first goal didn't count. Imo that was never a foul.

PS: Or is it because LaLiga teams almost always get advantage with referees?

Add an extra body in the box to create more space for Ronaldo.

he's not really done anything but ok. let's see this half what happens.

It was a very tight decision. Half the Caf saw it one way, the other half saw it another way. I couldn't decide myself.

Goal-line tech is perfect. Exactly what football assistance technology should be.

Jeez. That looked like an excellent save in real time.

Goal line technology is such a benefit to the game.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.
