Sturaro : Best save of the game, a game changer...
This what made the game crazy...
Both teams deniying the build up looking for possession, the battle for the ball was amazing. It complicated things for both teams as both coaches know each others...
Guardiola should be mad at the moment, Barça made progress with Luis ''gracias'' Enrique.
Dynastian starting to troll and then calling another fan a troll.. priceless. Business as usual.
Stupid for me to involve, but saying an opinion which (I actually agree btw) isn't 'trolling' (referring to Dynastian's 1st comment)
@tuan he was kinda on topic here. The topic involves talking of defending and I think Dyn just gave us an example of what kind of defending he (and again I) don't really respect.
Then obviously a Chelsea fan was pissed off (for no reason) and started talking of Real Madrid's this season's results that I think has nothing to do with this.
@decentK
Exactly my point. I just said that Chelsea' defending isn't entertaining, and Juventus know how to defend. And I get called a troll for it by more than one Chelsea fan. Lol.
This is absolutely pathetic. A certain team from England plays a defensive-focused game and it's "parking the bus," But when an Italian team does it then it's Catenaccio. What's really pathetic is when Mourinho managed Inter and defended it was also Catenaccio. But wait, now that he is at Chelsea - and defends like he did with Inter - he parks the bus instead of defending with style? Is it because he is no longer managing an Italian team. Or is it because he's managing perhaps the most hated club in Europe? No, it's the seriously disgusting prejudice on Chelsea when it comes to defending, but whatever; we let our results do the talking.
P.S. Juve have my respect for their performance and I am in no way criticizing them. They played their hearts out. I was just disgusted at the underhanded insult directed at my club. Some sophisticated bunch of football fans you are.
EDIT: I'd like to add that I do understand that our defending isn't pure Catenaccio but it is definitely influenced greatly by it. If you can't appreciate it then you've got serious problems appreciating football strategies.

@V Congrats for the league.
Juve actually didnt just defend, possession was 50-50, for Chelsea i guess its unfair considering results, but the fact they were involved in some boring games may have affected neutrals, you should not pay much attention to it if you enjoy how the team you support plays, its about taste, in my case i love teams who take risk rather than safety, its about personal preference in the end...
CATENACCIO is not bus parking.
The game yesterday was a beauty to watch in a different way. Finally, we saw some old Italian beauty back... I miss those time.
It was an intense game, we all saw how both teams missed their best players (Modric, Pogba)... but Juve's performance sparked out something we thought to be long dead from Serie A (or long sleep).
On paper, to be honest, Real could eat Juve alive... but the game showed otherwise.
Now, that's CATANACIO/Catenaccio guys. The actual good defending system that please our eyes. Not bus parking tactic. Some would argue it's Zona Mista.
I haven't seen so many beautiful tackles from individual in a while (not just throw bunch of people to block an attack)... despite some of those tackles almost caused them trouble (if a player do a sliding tackle and got passed, it would cost them 1,5 second to catch up)...
PS: Morata's goal is also a new record of number of passes before goal (27), broke the record from Bayern against Porto (26) - details: see comment
