Shalke made it tough and we even made it tougher on ourselves but amazing character to come back and win it while down ten men.

Sanes amazing freekick

Sterling

 

[Bosa]

They shoulda let Morata had his moment. That was a weak foul

 

[Black Lotus]

Agreed. Only keeper I have as better is De Gea.

Ter Stegen, Oblak > De Gea

That Sterling finish is the cleanest finish I’ve ever seen from him...

You knew Atleti was going to get one today.

No way Juve was going to defend the entire game. They did well for 70+ minutes.

They just haven’t gotten any support from Ronaldo, Dybala and mandzukic in the attack.

Bro they got NO support from the midfield. None. The midfield was the biggest problem today.

 

[Armada]

Feel like people have been saying Juventus midfield has been a weakness and lacks creativity for years now and they still haven’t really addressed it.

 

[macbk]

And Zidane is inching closer and closer to replacing Allegri this summer...

Only a matter of time. He'll still need improvement in the mid tho.

 

[vtotheinay]

You support Juve?

Yes

Steelers Nation. Pirates. Tarheels. Hokies. Utah Jazz. MUFC.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

What a goal from Sane...

Kid remains the second best young footballer in the world after Mbappe.

Yea, the midfield was outclassed for sure.

 

[jking0821]

Sucks but Atleti deserved the win honestly. Without VAR they get a PK...Morata scores...and then they still have 2 goals conceded.
Bonnuci can't go down in the box on defense...idc if he was poked in the eye or whatever. What was he thinking.

Gonna be tough now for Juve for sure.

City getting it done though. That free kick . Sane is a nightmare when he is on. So much fun to watch

 

[spacedoodoo]

I didn’t add them. And? Lol

You want me to go back and pull all my posts about Juve in here? It’s not that serious

 

[flyeed]

Crazy to think just one away goal for Atleti means Juve will have to crack that defense 4 times in 90 minutes

Wonder if Costa or Morata starts in Italy

It's been an issue with Juve for years. They always seem to play to score 1 and that's all. No striking mentality, even with CR7.

It will be Morata. Costa's yellow cost him the opportunity to play in Turin.

Also about the disallowed goal. This angle is pretty convincing that it was the correct decision to overturn it. Clear push cant do that.

Nah fam stop caping for var. That was weak af and he dove
It looks only looks like a foul in slow motion. It wasnt

 

[vtotheinay]

You can literally see the defender take 2 steps after the "push" then jump in the air to dive. Cmon son

Not caping just saying that angle shows it was a clear foul. maybe a soft cause cheilini went down "easy" but morata clearly pushed him thats a foul at the end of the day. nothing wrong with that decision. A foul shouldnt be determined if the fouled player overexagerated or not. It should just be evaluated by if it was a foul or not and that was

 

[jape]

Atleti and Real Madrid fans are celebrating in unison

Can’t say I blame them...all that yapping about Ronnie and juve

Haha you are caping and it wasn’t a foul. Did you watch it or just going off this slow motion replay?

You are literally the only one in here saying it was a foul and probably the only one watching the city match
If that’s a foul then everything is a foul.

I’ve watched it again several times in real time speed first and slow mo. I still say that was a foul

 

[yankeesking92]

Glad Juve lost, I enjoyed watching them and always hoped they did well except against Barca but with CR7 there, I hope they don't even reach a semi final just so the narrative is never that Rapey Ronnie lead Juve to a CL.

This is the issue with reviewing challenges that weren't called fouls in real time, if you watch a challenge over and over again in slowmo looking for a foul, you're going to find a foul. VAR should be limited to offside calls (or lack thereof), whether the ball crossed the line, and the spot of fouls that were already called in real time. Challenges that weren't called in real time should not be reviewed because then review becomes the crutch that it has become for officials in the NFL.
