    Who's keen for this one? Should be a world-class spectacle - two different footballing philosophies, two very different formations but so much talent on either side.

    Juve for a shock win, IMO.

    Remember when Barca were a club in crisis? :laugh:

    Barca to keep them out with ease.

    Glad those transfer bans have had a huge effect on Barcelona.

    im not bothered who wins, just hoping for a decent game

    Cheering for Juve. Have not seen much CL due to the lack of ManU to keep me interested.

    Juve. Juve Juve juve!

    Its Looking like an amazing game. As said in the OP, two very different sides.

    In my opinion we(Juve) have to withstand the pressure that's going to come early, they will push hard early on and we have to defend the same way we have all season. If we concede within the opening 20 I'll be worried. We have a tendency to get shaky at the back when conceding early on, otherwise we are solid as a rock.

    Little bias but a 2-1 win for us imo.

    Keeping the trio of Suarez, Neymar & Messi goalless is a hard task
     
  8. Riddy JH Ridd

    you guys still play 3 at the back?
     
  9. MightyPies DA Alessi

    On most occasions yes, we do. Given the fact that it's a CL final I can see is playing 4 at the back but it will be a very defensive back 4 if that is the case. Wouldn't be surprised if we play 4-1-3-2 and have Pirlo sit in CDM and just be that holding mid.

    Itll be interesting to see how we approach it. I think Morata and Tevez definitely need to start up front, they compliment each other well and I rate Morata over Llorente.

    Our biggest worry if the attacking power of Barca, there biggest would be our midfield but I think they'd be confident

    yeah i was gonna say, 3 at the back v MSN is brave. 4-1-3-2 matches you up much better to win the midfield battle.

    Im Italian but fucking hate Italians, So I'll be going for Barca.
     
  12. MightyPies DA Alessi

    yeah, I just think it is way to risky. Hopefully we don't make the same mistake we did throughout the season and take the risk on playing 3 at the back against the stronger sides. Don't get me wrong we are definitely a capable team of defending but against a world class trio like that everything needs to go your way and in a CL final you don't want to have to count on luck.

    Vidal, Pogba & Pirlo will go a long way in determining how we play in the final. If they are on their game, controlling the tempo, holding onto possession it will go along way to helping us get the win. We just need to make sure we aren't caught on the counter like Bayern were, they played their line way to high up imo.

    You can't go 3 at the back against a front 3 without causing yourselves problems.
     
  14. MASTERS S Masters

    not a massive Soccer fan by any stretch of the imagination, but liking the CL a fair bit, tipping Barca, cant see Juve keeping MNS out for 90 mins
     
  15. Weeman27bob BE Force

    Will Suarez be fit for the final though?
     
  16. SmellyStuff MP Chung

    Hoping Juve win. Also looking forward to the Suarez/Chiellini/Evra sideshow.
     
  17. cloughie09 TJ Clough

    Will be a right game IMO, think it will be 3-2 barcelona after extra time. Think barca's big match experience will pay off
     
  18. loganb JEM Logan

    Must say, I was desperate to see another El Clasico, especially with Barca having pretty much (bar a miracle) tied up the league, I think it would have been an incredible game. I feel this could just be a game of Barca having the ball for ages and winning 1-0/2-0.
     
  19. Furball G Furball

    It's got the potential to be a really intriguing tactical battle and there's always the possibility of a thumping.

    Both of which would be good to watch.

    Unless ash there passing goes at 85% or higher, this won't be the case. Juve dictate play better than most European teams
