Problem is those games against lesser sides that sit deep themselves and dont allow any space behind, Ole needs different ideas for those situations. Maybe having Mata come in on the right hand side giving another player alongside Bruno to move the ball around quickly and deliver a final ball

What? Man U have a poor record against big teams this year. This was literally their first win against the big six the entire season. They also did badly in the Champions League.

I guess Ronaldo and Messi aren't the only topics on which you are completely clueless.

Not true United beat Everton and West Ham

There also have been a lot of draws, and ones that deserved a W like Chelsea

**MilkforBrains** · 03-09-2021, 12:42 AM

That freekick.

Feels like CR should leave Juve after this season. The Italian adventure is over. Where next?

Lel. Here's an article from an actual Man U fan site from before their victory over City talking about how terrible they are against the big six. https://reddevilarmada.com/2021/03/0...uggle-big-six/ "Manchester United have not won against any of the ‘Big Six’ in the Premier League this season."

**AdikinBawls** · 03-09-2021, 02:34 PM

What a fookin free kick by Porto! And now a goal by Juve! Juve has to score one more or Porto is through. They have 3 minutes! This match has been awesome!

Porto is through, STUNNING free kick! I almost feel bad for Ronaldo, but I guess he can take solace in the fact that Messi will join him tomorrow. If that game is half as exciting as this one, I'll be happy.

**mandarino** · 03-09-2021, 02:49 PM

Amazing game. Glad porto pulled through.

The audacity of pirlo crying to the refs when he played with a man up for almost a full 90 mins lmao

**Kaliconic** · 03-09-2021, 02:57 PM

What a crazy match. The last ten minutes were madness.

Very rough match for old man Ronaldo. Literally let the winning goal go through his legs. Despite being gifted a ridiculous red cart from Porto and Chiesa having an amazing game, CR7 contributed nothing on the attacking end and then lets the winner go between his legs. Ouch.

He had a nice assist though. Instead of going for goal, he was selfless and laid it off to Chiesa for the score. But yeah, overall, an awful game by him (Morata too). He looks exhausted out there. By the end of the game, he was running like he has legs made of stone. The dude really needs to take a complete game (or four) off. He's hard-headed as fuk.

Anyway, Porto deserves to go through. Before the red, they were by far the deadlier team. If Juve can't win by 2+ at home with their opponents down to 10, then they don't belong there.

mr champions league of peace LMAO

-juventus made 2 out 3 cl finals before the GOAT came
-the GOAT goal returns over the past 3 cl seasons... 9, 4, 4
-the GOAT eliminated by the likes of ajax, lyon, porto
-the GOAT made 0 cl finals pre modric, kroos, bale
-the GOAT has made 0 cl semis post m, k, b

even i'm taken back by how bad mr cl's getting exposed, this guy isn't even a top 50 player of all time anymore considering his whole career's been one of privilege playing with the game's greatest ever players and coaches

**lolXlol** · 03-09-2021, 11:49 PM

srsly tho, shows how soccer's run by retards even at the highest level, all these morons had to do was check the sports section on bodybuilding.com, look for posts from the soccer whisperer aka lolXlol and i could have foretold everything, literally have a 100% record on player analysis

what an absolutely colossal failure of a transfer this has been

United or PSG is all I think that makes sense

Ronaldo has never joined teams that are already Champions League winning quality, he wouldnt want to go to a Bayern for example. They do need to have an adequate squad though, certainly more than current Juve

Ronaldo would effectively be a better version of Cavani, I think as he is now 36 and will be 37 next season he really should firmly become a number 9

How the fook is joining Juventus not ‘Champions League winning quality’. I think thats enough internet for you today boyo.

Ronaldo only option is PSG. He will get exposed(purely due to his age and Father Time) in England or Spain. Or he goes outside of Europe, but he is too ambitious for that and i hope he stays.

What the last few years has shown very clearly is that Ronaldo was always a reliant on his athleticism, which has been top notch. As opposed to his tactical/technical qualities.

**LukeS1** · 03-10-2021, 03:38 AM

CR7 is still scoring more goals than anyone, Lewy included

https://www.planetfootball.com/quick...aland-ronaldo/

He's still the best player in the world alongside Messi

**LukeS1** · 03-10-2021, 06:11 AM

Cristiano Ronaldo in UCL Knockout Games at Juventus

8 Games - 8 Goal involvements (7 goals 1 assist)

Yeh hes still got it

**Rai9** · 03-10-2021, 06:56 AM

The last 3 years Ronaldo has been the only scorer for Juve in the CL. Motherfuker had to pull off a hattrick to bail out Juve against Atletico Madrid after being down 2-0. Juve just sucks and Pirlo is sheit lol.

**Midgetkiller** · 03-10-2021, 11:40 AM

Juve is CL winning quality, but as a dark horse. They need to be 100% healthy (big problem lately) and Ronaldo needs to play a strong game for them to truly matter. Even then Liverpool, City, PSG and Bayern are way ahead of them. Just look at Juve's midfield. It's so far behind the curve.

They've always been a tactical team the last few years. Allegri and Conte maximized the squad's potential. This year they've been quite weak across the board with Ronaldo bailing them out many times with freak goals. Juve's a great team for CR7 to shine, but it's not an easy CL grab. If he wanted an easy road to a cup he should be looking for one of the big 4. Maybe United is almost ready to make that step. They are lacking one top quality defender still and maybe someone to replace De Gea if he keeps stinking up the joint.

**mandarino** · 03-10-2021, 12:12 PM

I just dont see him going to United. It makes no sense.

As a Portuguese and as a superstar who spent his major achievements on the Iberian peninsula it would just be a step back going to England. He has done it all there, weather sucks, his family would hate it etc etc. He will rather go to MLS to build his brand.

He can still dominate the MLS @ 40. As far as physical ability goes, there are not many like him. He's hardly ever injured, he's the LBJ of football.

**Kaliconic** · 03-10-2021, 12:50 PM

Barcelona are actually doing a lot better than I expected against PSG. They have had many opportunities in attack. Messi scored on a great strike from long range but just now he had a penalty saved by Navas. If that had gone in they might have had a small chance at coming back.

**Rai9** · 03-10-2021, 01:25 PM

Holy fuk, that Messi goal was joocy. Rare he just shoot the distance from that distance. Lookin like prime CR7 that shot.

**AdikinBawls** · 03-10-2021, 02:32 PM

Messi played pretty well, that was a sick goal. Of course he had to miss the penalty to follow it up, but he had a good showing. Probably the best I've seen Barca play in quite a while. Dembele is a nutsack though.

He should go back to Sporting for his last CL hurrah. They'll be Champions League next year. If they keep their pieces (doubt it), they'll have a very good supporting cast around him.

Not srs, but would be interesting.

**tehgosu** · 03-10-2021, 02:39 PM

cotdamn brahs that Messias golazo

https://streamable.com/kijq0v#

**LukeS1** · 03-11-2021, 12:48 AM

Barca have declined so fast man

I really do want to see Messi go to another team. Not City, that would be too easy. P$G, Inter Milan maybe?

**LukeS1** · 03-11-2021, 01:13 AM

Barcalona with Xavi & Iniesta (06 onwards)

Won the UCL
L16
Semi Final
Won the UCL
Semi Final
Won the UCL
Semi Final
Semi Final
Quarter Final
Won the UCL

Since them (2015 onwards)

Quarter Final
Quarter Final

Semi Final
Quarter Final

The difference is so stark, universally accepted as the best midfielders of all time but still underrated
