Allegri...shut out Barca over both legs

[SWv2]

Right. But didn't every team use to have a pair of backs of that sort? Probably just my memory playing tricks on me again.

As my ten year-old son put it the other day, with a wisdom far beyond his years, I felt; at the top level, slow defenders should *never* be beaten for pace.

Juventus look like a proper football team.

Defenders whose prime, some may say only, purpose is to defend by means dark or fair. Midfield players who are full of energy and not afraid of the football and a striking department who feature an almost old fashioned big unit but also the chap who at times looks almost portly but will over a season score a **** load of goals. Throw in for good measure 1-2 fancy dan types, or relative fancy dan types, and bang.

Not a prima donna in sight, apart from in the stands.

Even Dani Alves looks like less of a ****.

I for one hope they now win it. Forza Juve (as J would say if he were here).

Right, and also considering the players they've lost lately, it's a fine effort.

They'd be lucky to finish top four in England though, mind. Just because everybody would be.
