WHAT A GREAT QUALIFICATION FOR THE GERMAN SIDE

Didn’t I tell you that this would be the best football match tonight? It turned out to be the best match of this year’s competition, heck, probably the best two-legged tie we have seen for years in the Champions League.
It was breathless from start to finish, but what a difference between the beginning and end of this game.
Juventus were flawless for the first hour: they ran themselves into the ground, they forced mistakes from Bayern and for all Bayern’s possession, Juve made the far better chances. The thing is, with the score at 2-0, they didn’t finish Bayern off. Morata (x2) and Cuadrado both missed gilt-edged chances. Juve’s wrongly had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside. They would pay for those mistakes.
Guardiola were tactically out-thought by Allegri, but it was his changes that made the difference in getting Bayern back into this match. Two of his subs: Thiago and Coman scored in extra time to seal this win, and Coman, on loan from Juventus, also provided the cross for Müller’s 91st-minute equaliser. What a player the Frenchman will be, what a player he is already. Juventus’ changes, taking off Morata and Cuadrado, also meant that Juventus were increasingly on the back foot. In the end, the pressure proved too great. Would Juventus have survived if they had had the presence of Chiellini, the legs of Marchisio, the clinical Dybala? We’ll never know.
Thanks for joining me, tonight was a joy. Ta for the emails and tweets, see you next time. Bye!
