Juventus are going nowhere in Europe with Tevez and Llorente as their strike pairing. Llorente is just terrible, a leaden-footed hammer thrower whose sole purpose is his aerial ability which was meat and drink for Garay and Luisao. Tevez is as average as the day is long and he has no real striking instincts, he just relies on trying to steamroll past players.
Didn’t see the game but do feel sorry for Juve. Like Bayern, winning the league early (ok it’s not mathematically won but it’s as good as) has not helped Juve. They appear stale of late. Too much reliance on Pirlo to make things happen. I think Tevez & Llorente are taking their time to adapt to each other’s games. They’ll come good. It’s the likes of Vidal that I think are not good enough if you want to be seriously challenging in Europe.
Hon Benfica.
Every time they show a side profile shot of Emery I keep thinking it’s Robbie Fowler.
Only have this on in the background with the sound down but it looks to have a decent tempo to it
Not bad. All a bit frantic. Some chances at the start and then right at the end where Benfica should’ve scored and then should’ve had a penalty. Sevilla don’t seem all that pushed on the defensive aspect of football.
Benfica spurning a host of chances here.
The Curse of Bela Guttman lives on for the moment.
Ah this is great excitement. both teams trying to counter attack at break neck speed - leading to loads of last ditch tackles and chances.
Rakitic looks a classy player. United could do worse than signing someone like him.
Cracking game.
Extra time. Penalties look likely.
Some amount of fluffed chances. Lads nearly waiting for defenders to get back before shooting or crossing.
Super pass there by Rakitic.
The curse of Benfica will prevail should pens await! 
Someone bump the penalty shoot out alert thread.
Come on to fuck Benfica
Cardozo missed in the last World Cup didn’t he?
Ah, for fuxake, No confidence in that peno… you could see it in the run up
Cursed!!
Shame, Benfica looked by far the better team over the 120 min
Gutless, the Guttman curse lives on.
