Juventus vs Bayern Munich - UEFA Champions League: quarterfinal
Juventus v Bayern Munich Football Match will be played on 10.04.2013 in the
Juventus Stadium (Torino)for a UEFA Champions League match. Carlos Velasco will
be the referee for this match.
Juventus hasn’t lost a match in all of their Champions League matches except
against Bayern Munich in the first leg playing away. The score was 2-0. They
will need to score goals if they were to go through and for them playing at
home, I think they will score but to score more than 2 goals and keep a clean
sheet will be tough for them.
The first leg was a very one sided affair with Bayern controlling the
game throughout. They took an almost instant lead with a goal from
David Alaba in the first minute and Juventus fans must have been fearing
the worst at that point. It took until the 63rd minute for
Bayern to double their lead when Thomas Muller scored after an assist
from Mario Mandzukic. Bayern will feel they could have had more goals
but if they produce the same level of performance they shouldn’t be in
any trouble.
The 0:2 in the first leg at Bayern Munchen was the Juventus Turin's
first defeat since 18 European matches or three years. Juventus was
nearly chanceless and keeper Gianluigi Buffon prevented a higher loss
with some nice savings. However, Juventus still have the chance to
advance to their first semi-final since the 2002/03 season. For Juve
speaks the home advantage. Conte's side is unbeaten in 11 European home
fixtures, the last three Champions League home games brought three wins
with a clean sheet - . Not in the squad are Stephan Lichtsteiner, Arturo
Vidal (both booked), Simone Pepe, Nicklas Bendtner and probably also
Sebastian Giovinco (all injured).
