Champions League Final - Barcelona vs Juventus
- Thread starter NoPace
- Start date
No matter who wins, I hope it'll be a cracking match and I really hope Juventus will not capitulate like we did twice against Barca. They have a lot of time to prepare this final.
I don't think they will. They'll pack the midfield and narrow the pitch like we didn't.
Shit match day thread. Time, date, venue?!
Seriously, what makes this ref the top choice for the most important football match in the world in 2015?
Think it's safe to say we all know who you have in mind...
You don't play 3-5-2 against 4-3-3, unless you mean 5-3-2
I want the Juve that played the 1st leg against Real to turn up and hope they win. I want to see Evra win another CL, and I don't want to see anymore teeth of the cnut that shall not be named.
Yeah I did.
Or unless you're Pep Guardiola, of course...
Anyone know a good Spanish bar to watch this in London? Or any bar that'll be full of Barca fans, and hopefully have decent Spanish food.
Buffon has not won Champions League yet so it won't be another.
This place looks hard to beat: http://www.barandcompany.com/#sports
Yeah lets face it Juve are gonna get absolutely caned by that front three.
I am not too fussed who wins it. I just want to see a good match. Though it would be great to see Pat get one more.
it would be great to see Pat smash that rat straight in the incisors
That too 
What a feckin' prick! Just his mere presence alone might ruin the final.The ref of the final will be everyone's best fried here, Cüneyt Çakir.
Yeah but Tevez is just as big a cock has Suarez is, but Evra deserves another CL medal , so just Juventus for me .
I have no interest in seeing Barca win a fifth title and become even more attractive to top players and people seem to have forgotten what a loathsome club Juventus is. Shame both teams can't lose.
We can find a reason for every club really. Bayern winning another cl title. Madrid going to 11.
What's wrong with juve exactly? They had some corrupt officials a decade ago. Whatelse?
Juventus winning things is the only pleasure Notts County fans ever get.
I have a bad feeling about this final. It just seems destined for Juve.
Messi will win it for you.
I had a bad feeling Real Madrid would be in the final and look at how that worked out. If we score first, we'll be hard to beat.
I think it's going to be a bit of an anti-climax and you'll win 2-0/3-1.
Why does Evra deserve another Champions League winners medal? If he's in the winning side, he'll deserve one if not, he doesn't deserve one.
Same here. This might be over by the 1st half itself.
Yep, and they have the players (especially midfield!) to do it well.
Can really only seem them hitting Barca from a set piece (a Pirlo delivery
) or counter.At the end of the day, it's all going to come down to which Messi shows up. "Cup final" Messi and Juve might as well concede the title now.
(unless it's the WC 
)Doesn't Buffon deserve one CL medal more than Casillas two/three and Valdes three?
I think much depends on the first goal. Barca score and they should win pretty easily. Juve score and their game plan can them perfectly of shutting down the spaces and frustrating.
Have the feeling that Neymar will be the hero in that game. Juve will focus on Messi and this will leave more space for Neymar.
I'm not one for sentiment. If you're in the winning team, you deserve a medal. If you're not in the winning team, that's life.
Litchsteiner should have Neymar in decent check. He is sometimes to slow in reading attackers movement but vs Madrid he had Ronaldo looked after most of the time.
It's not about sentiment. I'm talking about performances. Buffon will go down as a legend of the game. It's slighly odd to see inferior players getting their hands on old big ears whereas one of the greats not doing so. I'm not saying that Juve should win because he doesn't have that medal, I'm saying his career does deserve one.
What's more important is how much of messi's supply they can strangle. If they do that well, they could have him well handled, if not its going to be a long day for evra.Yep, and they have the players (especially midfield!) to do it well.

Aye, but there's still the possibility of Suarez/Neymar/Iniesta/Rakitic doing damage if they focus on Messi too much
but yeah, they need to focus on Messi, but like Pep said, if his in the mood, there's not much a gameplan can do to stop genius.After 3 very meh cup finals over the weekend, I'm hoping this one delivers.
Apparently if Barcelona win, they have to pay Arsenal four million euros due to a clause in Vermaelen's sale deal.
I read that they won't have to pay because he hasn't played enough games (was in Marca).
