Juventus are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 12 years.
The Bianconeri edged past Monaco, winning 1-0 in the first leg in Turin and holding out for a 0-0 draw in the return leg at the Stade Louis.
The draw for the semi-finals will take place in Nyon at 12:00 CET, with the first legs to be played on May 5/6 and the return ties the following week on May 12/13.
Who do you want Juventus to face in the Champions League semi-finals ?

I want real madrid
Juve vs. Barca would be pretty sick …
I would enjoy chiellini and Evra beating the crap out of Suarez
To anyone whos complaining about the way we played. Dont be upset because we stuck in the game plan for the whole game except getting the goal we needed. Today proved how strong our defence really is. And i hope to see us against Barca. Obviously Monaco didnt have messi suarez and neymar but i would be confident in facing them. And also very curious because i have never seen juve play against barca in my lifetime
Also, I read that BOTH Tevez and Morata have been vomiting, Vidal had a fever plus there’s Pirlo and Barzagli who aren’t nearly 100% fit. Thats incredible actually. We werent nearly close to 100% and we still managed a decent result. Heres to hoping Pogba gets back for the semis.
Also, i dint mind either spanish teams. Chiellini and Evra will probably take turns at Suarez.
Yeah I read it too, kinda explains the weak performance they made, but what a spirit! I was kinda mad, but after reading they were ill and vomiting up until 2 hours before the game, I love these guys even more.
Juve have even never played against Messi in an official match. Allegri has faced him though, a million times.
I agree. They focused on Monaco’s weakness and they exploited with an excellent game plan. anyone who complained about it, including non juve fans who are italian but hate juve, are idiots.
Results as this, reaching semifinales of UCL, boost our reputation…players are glad to be here…players are eager to come, transferwise. Hopefully Napoli, fiorentina push through as Well, even winning the UEL…Will boost entire Serie A …
Realistically, all these teams are stronger than us, so whoever we get it’s fine. I hope our players can play without any pressure, and knock them the fuck out with another 1-0, 0-0.
Let them hate.
Does anyone know how much we ve made in the Cl thus far?
€24.4m. This is without the market pool, which we will find out at the end of the season I believe. Last year that was almost €32m for us, I would be surprised if it would be any lower this time.
For each win in the group stages we got €1m, and €0.5m for every draw.
Everyone gets some for each round:
€8.6m for group stages, €3.5m for Ro16, €3.9m for quarter finals, €4.9m for the semis. The winner of the CL will get €10.5m and the runners-up €6.5m.
Didnt we already make a very large chunk for being the only italian cl team. That we already made more in CL this year than RM did last year.
I believe that was last year. In 2013/14 we got €43m from CL, and €7m from the EL, we eared a little bit more than €50m, while Real got €57m for winning it.
I got the numbers from uefa:

No, sorry, it was 2012-13.
https://www.football-italia.net/36564/juventus-made-%E2%82%AC65m-cl
Yea we did, but the numbers Peter supplied, i believe only covers ehat Uefa gave us for the wins. Those numbers dont include everything, i think
Correct. The market pool which is missing will be determined by how long we go. The more we advance, the more we will get, (and the less Roma gets). In the end it should be somewhere between €30m-€40m.
But isnt there even more to it. I forgot if we made more than madrid or close to how much they made in europe, and the numbers were close 100 mil i think. And i ir ead we re about to make a ton this season. But again, im not sure
I’m not exactly sure, but I think this is what we get directly from UEFA. Anyway, I found the numbers here:

Barca or Real for me, anything but Bayern
Juventus should be looking to add a worldclass striker or playmaker. A playmaker will add more potency in the attacks. If Juve were to acquire Cavani. I think Tevez should be push to.the left wing and Cavani with Morata up front.
Why move Tevez to the wing and force a 4-3-3? For one we look great in the 4-3-1-2 and also Tevez is so much more useful when on the ball and can help create play in the attacking 3rd. That will limit his touches. Hes also getting old and wont want to spend a season running the wing. Motivation is a huge component of Tevez’s success.
Id love a top level trequartista, alla isco, oezil, de bruyne, oscar, etc.
Why not Di Maria, he is not happy at Man United
That’s a winger, not really a trequartista
It will be a 4-3-1-2 which converts to a 4-3-3 while attacking. I don’t think Tevez will have any problem taking that responsibility. It will also give him an opportunity to take long range shots as well.
We wouldn’t be in the semis without Allegri’s experience. Conte would not have gotten past Dortmund, I am sure. I can’t believe I was so against Allegri. This team will do great things.
We did have plenty of reasons you know. He sank really low while at Milan. His own words in a press conference were something like ”i did not expect the Juve fans to accept me right from the start, and the only way i know how to win them over is to accomplish things”.
Thats true. He did have some cojones taking the Juve job. So what have you been up to, Maarten? the juvefc fellowship has been weakening. I wanna know how Dutch the man is
I’m alright. Not great and not terrible. Have been posting more again lately to strengthen the weakened juvefc fellowship. Or something :p
Allegri also said he actually wanted to take a year off and travel the world. How different has that turned out? Although he has been travelling europe, to Madrid, Athens, Malmo, Dortmund and Monaco. Now he’ll return to Madrid, if we win that he’ll travel to Berlin and maybe to other continents aswell if we go to the club world cup :p
We All were against Allegri. He proved us wrong. I dont believe it was his experience which brought this far, but his ability make us believe. Look at what the players are saying in the media. Everything goes back to “we believe” and tthats ALL thanks to Allegri.
Conte defintely deserves credit in this too. I still believe that no coach in the world would have brought us out of the depth of hell. we were destined for a long road of mediocrity, until he stepped in front of our path and redirected us back to where we once belong. But then he grew fearful, fearful of losing and fearful of losing his pride. He made excuses and instead of facing the harsh winds of europe, he instead chose to bury his self under a ground of excuses.
Yeah looks like it was really wrong to be so negative about it. I couldn’t believe that was happening, Conte gone from one day to the next and his replacement was here practically the next day, turning out to be Allegri, most famous for seeing Milan collapse and Dai dai dai.
No wonder really we were furious at the time. But he got the results so far, we’re playing one of our finest seasons, still in the running in all competitions and with some far nicer games and flexibility
@Belgian, if you want more dutch against Serie A craziness, this is a title on the foxsports.nl homepage today. Completely ignoring the Italian teams for whatever reason in the title. While they did show the Napoli game.

Lol Fiorentina and Napoli are major contenders to win it, nobody gives a shit about Dnipro. I hate Dutch journalists man 😛
If juventus decides to sell Vidal. Matuidi from PSG will be a very good replacement. A ball winner that is capable of forward runs as well.
I no longer see why we would have to sell Vidal or Pogba.
If you have to believe the rumours, it’s going to be Witsel who joins us this summer

Ive saw this pic about 20 times already. We re the true definition of “underdogs” we re basically what Athletico ans Borussia were a year and 2 years ago were, but this time, no one, aside from the fans, see us as actual threats. Idiots. I wouldnt have it any other way. Disrespect us and see what follows
Those who don’t see us as a threat are just stuck in their “Serie A sucks” circlejerk. Meanwhile we have 3 Italian teams in the remaining 8 teams who play in Europe
Yea, basically the jerk offs who actually know little about football and are on the media hype wagon.
I just noticed that other picture stayed on the comment… didnt mean to post it, although its quite relevant
I’m sick of that picture already – This oen is better
It’s quite something when you think about it actually. There are 8 teams left in Europe, 3 of them Italian teams. Fiorentina and Napoli have a serious chance to win EL, the only real competition is Sevilla.
We do have a chance to win the semifinals, but we’re in a disadvantage no matter who we draw. I’m glad we got as far as we did, and I’m just going to enjoy the next 2games, whatever the outcome. I hope for Real or Barca.
In EL I hope Fiorentina and Napoli don’t get paired, we could just get an all-Italian EL final
So in advance of the real pairing, I’m hoping for this
Real – Juve
Barca – Bayern
Fiorentina – Dnipro
Napoli – Sevilla
For entertainment I’d prefer to get Barca, but I think our best chance of winning lies with Madrid
REAL MADRID IT IS
Looks like Madrid boys ..
My predictions weren’t so bad 😛
Good that we have Real and good that Fiorentina and Napoli don’t play each other, though I would have preferred Napoli to take on Sevilla
FORZA JUVE
FORZA SERIE A
Looks like Allegri got rid of his Barca-magnetism at Juve
Well then Gobbi, we got our wish….
