The Champions League is the best football in the world when it gets to the knockout stages. This game was top quality and the standard that World Cup finals football used to be before FIFA diluted the final stages with too many games.
Top performance by Juve, tactically brilliant, disciplined and took their chances. A three goal advantage is a big lead and they will be a tough nut to crack. However, Barca have the best front three in the world. It will be another epic Cup-tie.
Two cracking goals and a well-worked third. I've always liked Barcelona, mainly because of the way Catalunya was treated by Franco whose regime favoured Real, but I'll be happy to see them fail to get past this quality Juve side.
Much better than any football I have seen from an EPL side in years. We are falling behind. We don't need to buy Pogba, Griezmann and these players into our league for £100,000,000, we need to coach in the right way and become more tactically aware. Look at what Conte has done with Hazard and a load of decent not amazing players.

Can't be many keepers that have faced him more than once that can say that.

Juventus also had a 4th ruled out for offside that should never have been given.
