Juventus 2-1 Monaco

Adjust Comment Print

Spain has been pretty much dominant over the past few years with Barcelona and Real Madrid sharing the last three titles between them. Bonucci said that was the turning point for Juventus.

The first leg saw him lay on two goals for Gonzalo Higuain, the first (above) as part of a attractive team move that saw the Bianconeri sweep forward with the kind of devastating counterattack that has been a hallmark of the Ligue 1 side's own play all season. We shouldn't be conceding like that just because we switched off. "We have grown in respect to two years ago, when we were a surprise".

Chelsea will earn several million pounds should Juventus achieve both the Serie A and Champions League titles this season, due to clauses in the loan deal of Juan Cuadrado. "We learned that the game is never over, we have to be plugged in throughout".

Bonucci was asked whether Juve's 2015 midfield options - Claudio Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal - were better than their current setup. It had been a awful, terrible session - one of the worst in my life.

"We just need to go to Cardiff and play the best match in Juventus' history".

"We can't commit small errors that could cost us dearly".

"It is true that there is enough balance, but we always play to win".

"Then, we will concentrate on Cardiff".

Without him, Max Allegri had shifted to a 4-2-3-1 formation, but it was when he became part of that new system that it truly began to hum. "If we'd taken to the pitch thinking we were already through we would have found it tough but we were ready to react to everything they threw at us", said Buffon.

He quickly showed his intentions with a thumping but perfectly-timed tackle to stop Monaco's 18-year-old forward Kylian Mbappe from breaking down the left wing.

"He is an alien, because only a great player and serious professional can change his style of play to adpat to ours as he has".

After Alvaro Morata's departure from Juventus at the beginning of the 2016-17 campaign to rejoin Real Madrid, the Spanish striker - despite being a sporadic rotational option for the Galacticos this term - has come on leaps and bounds during the course of his stuttering career.
