History says that Juventus will now progress but you can never be 100% sure in football. Juve have not lost a home game by 2 goals since April 2013. However with every streak there is always the possibility of it ending. I think though its most likely going to be a Juve vs Real Madrid final and a repeat of the 1998 final. Juve will look for revenge for the 1-0 loss and Real will look to be the first team to retain the Champions League trophy.

Juventus have history against them as they have always struggled in the CL finals (2 Wins, 6 losses). They win easily in Italy but in Europe they struggle, it's a known fact. But I think this year they have the total package to grab the cup. And I'm not even a fan of The Old Lady, my club is Inter Milan. But I think that if Juventus win this year, they will shut up a lot of naysayers. Just for the sake of seeing Cristiano Ronaldo being shut out and to see him cry, I want a Juventus win.

As a matter of fact, Juventus are the exact opposite of A.C. Milan: strong in their domestic championship and weak on the Europe stage. Juventus have two European Cups against the 7 titles of A.C. Milan.

Now, this is strange....

I picked this up on a Footie forum early Thursday, and it's now spread out quickly amongst Twitts and Face-aches like a virus.

In the "Football Predictions" thread, our colleague ~ Victor M ~ has chosen the final day of the EFL Championship as the Prediction challenge, which is appropriate.

THREE clubs face relegation by occupying the remaining place.
Blues, Blackburn and Forest.

The THREE most dis-respected, dis-believed and probably, most 'hated' and campaigned against owners of a Championship side are....
Blues, Blackburn and Forest.

Truly incompetent owners ~ imo.
In terms of the longevity of their football ignorance, the order would be ~
Blackburn (Venkey's chicken entrepreneurs based in India)
Forest (8 different managers in 6 years)
Blues (Chinese entrepreneur in place 7 months, allowed Zola to go 23 matches with 2 wins)

Those 3 owners are quite easily the most despised and distrusted Championship owners since Charlton. Portsmouth, Coventry etc. from their supporter bases.

Is it ironic, that the 3 most Un-Wanted are going to play musical chairs ~
as the viral post said ~ next Sunday ~ to see which foreign owner is the most ignorant about footie business and management ?

Try this week's 'Football Prediction ~ why not~ ~

Relegation is between Blues, Blackburn and Forest.
Champion is between Brighton and Newcastle.

All three clubs were in the old first division when I first started watching footie and Birmingham even blazed a trail in Europe. Forest had won the FA Cup, while Blackburn managed to lose the dustbin final against Wolves.

I said in an earlier thread, its owners looking for the pot of gold and when it does not materialise off the ride into the sunset, leaving the trail of destruction behind them.

"its owners looking for the pot of gold"
Right with you at 100%

They don't care about football "culture and tradition".

Maybe weak is not the right word, but Juvenus have 32 titles as A.C. Milan have 18 titles.
