Yeah I watched that. They were missing all their forwards and played a thousand times better than Juve did yesterday...
Comfortably second best in both games. Griezmann played in both as well

City even more so. Did you actually watch those games? No clue how you can make that comparison if you did.
Still lost to a newly promoted side and not by chance

And this isn't a comparison. You're claiming juventus aren't a top top side because they had a horrible game. I'm pointing out that two of the teams you said are better than them have had poor performances as well. One of those more than one, too

How many Juve players would even start for City or Barcelona? Ronaldo, Pjanic maybe, De Ligt? Alex Sandro for City too maybe?
How many liverpool players would start for City or Barcelona? VVD, one of the front 3 maybe, one of the FBs?

There is Chiellini and Costa and with them Juve have a team to rival any team in the world but they'll be injured more than half of the season... without them they are a lot worse.
Douglas will be injured more than half the season?

Btw, what's Barcelona without Pique and Messi? Liverpool without VVD and Salah?

I guess we'll get a proper look at them in Madrid on Wednesday but I very much doubt there will be any big improvements unless Rabiot and Ramsey can make a significant impact on that midfield.
It's September. It'll be their 4th game of the season

Police arrested 10+ Juve’s ultras bosses from all the groups earlier this morning, in that decapitating a mafia-like organisation who blackmailed the club for free tickets and freebies in exchange of ‘support and order’ inside the stadium. This is hopefully the start of ultras demise everywhere in Italy as troublemaker parasites, if other clubs follow suit. Source in Italian from Repubblica.it and Gazzetta.it homepage just now.

Douglas Costa is out for 2-4 weeks with a thigh muscle problem, but Pjanic will likely be fit in time for the Inter game on 6th October. Two big losses for the midweek CL game.

Juve 1-0 down, great goal after hitting the post from a penalty and the rebound also hitting the bar :lol:

Juve almost got away with murder but now losing thanks to former Sporting boy Veloso.

I don't like these Juventus kits.
I have a mixed feeling. with the black shorts I think they look good but I have mixed feelings over the box shaped back of the jersey.

Pieomnte Calcio are playing like shit. I would argue maybe even worse than under Allegri.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think Jose Mourinho and Juve would fit like a glove.

Juve have rigid players who can play multiple positions and are not divas. They are old school and as most Italian teams play good defensively as is Moutinho specialty. Also he is an absolute god in Italy. I think it would be Juve best bet to win the CL.

Sarri had a one season wonder at Napoli.

Juve have been horrible all season and I am surprised people said otherwise because of a 4-3 win vs Napoli thanks to the luckiest OG of the season.

Yes, especially to juventus and their fans, as they made clear last season
What did they do? I actually have no clue so I don't know what happened? I am guessing has to do with the United and Juve game?

Seriously? It was the best Mourinho moment in years :lol::lol::lol:

Let's just say if juventus actually hired mourinho, there would be actual riots

It would also mean the agnellis sold the club btw

Mourinho *is* inter

The hatred is rabid, starting from the ownership
