MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Player Ratings: Malmo 0-2 Juventus Nov 26, 2014 Juventus defeated Malmo 2-0 at the Swedbank Stadion in the Champions League on Wednesday. Fernando Llorente grabbed the opener with a calm just after half time, finish before Carlos Tevez wrapped up any doubt in the dying moments of the game. Malmö FF Robin Olson – 5.5 – Blockade - Made some good saves including a peach to deny Marchisio, even though the Italian should really have scored. Could do nothing for either goal conceded. Anton Tinnerholm – 5 – Sturdy - Was solid for the most part ended up on the losing side. Was taken off for a more attacking approach with the addition of Rakip with five minutes to go. Erik Johansson – 3 – Anger - Lost his head after Juventus’ second goal due to the referee not pulling play back for a foul. Not that his sending off affected how the match would end. A shame if his parents were in attendance though. Filip Helander – 4.5 – Weak - Arguably the weakest of the back-line and failed to control the quick movement of Tevez and failed to track the run of Llorente for the game’s opening goal. Richardinho – 5 – Name - Will always win the award for best named player of the game, but sadly the Brazilian was just as helpless to trying to salvage something for his team. Magnus Eriksson – 6 – Eagle - Pinged the ball very well around his players in the first half, but seemed to fade out of the game as the match got away from the home side. Can be proud of his performance. Enoch Adu – 5 – Clever - Much like Eriksson, made some smart passes including a quick touch and flick to striker Kiese Thelin at the end of the first half. Was marked out of the game in the second and thus rendered ineffective. Markus Halsti – 4.5 – Obsolete - Didn’t offer much compared to his midfield buddies and was bypassed for most of the game. Ran about a fair bit but ultimately wasn’t in the match at all. Emil Forsberg – 5 – Fearless - Enjoyed running at the Juventus backline during the first half and looked like he could be the key to unlocking the opening goal, instead, faded just like every other Malmo player sadly. Markus Rosenberg – 5.5 – Tried - Caused a few problems at the back for the Bianconeri but to no avail. Forced Buffon into a great save in the final minute but by then the game was done. Picked up a booking for dissent at the end as well. Isaac Kiese Thelin – 6 – Hassle - Was a shame to see him go off in the final 20 minutes as he was a constant threat the first 45 minutes and Malmo’s brightest attacking threat . Gave Bonucci the slip a couple of times but most of his shots fell comfortably for Buffon. Substitutes Pawel Cibicki – 5 – Youngster - If in doubt, throw a 20-year-old onto the field to try and spark your team into life. He didn’t, but it would be a good experience for him. Likewise for 18-year-old Erdal Rakip’s five minutes on the field. Erdal Rakip – N/A Juventus Gianluigi Buffon – 6 – Stopper - Commanded his defence well when called upon and knew exactly how to deal with anything that was thrown at him. Not much really in hindsight, but it’s a clean sheet, so Gigi won’t be complaining. Stephan Lichtsteiner – 5 – Forgotten - Forgot the Swiss was even on the field for pretty much the entire game. Bypassed in the first but made some decent, expected runs in the second. Not a typical performance by his standards. Leonardo Bonucci – 6 – Resolute - A good word to describe such a player, did his job well and effectively. Does however need to realise he can’t ping a pass like Pirlo, but he still tries to anyway. Every.single.game. Giorgio Chiellini – 6.5 – Solid - Made a great clearing block from a Malmo cross in the second half and proved sturdy at the back during a rocky first half for the Bianconeri. Was outmuscled a couple of times, which is unlike him. Simone Padoin – 6 – Played - Can’t give much of a run-down of Padoin’s performance as he didn’t really do much. Is picked for his form has been clear to see and deserved to start, but lacked in anything truly spectacular. Claudio Marchisio – 6 – Improvement - On assessment of prior games, Marchisio was definitely better. Was unlucky on two occasions with the fact his legs aren’t long enough, or getting high enough to bring down two balls that should have led to goals. Made a great defence splitting ball for Llorente’s opener however, which was of vital important. Andrea Pirlo – 5.5 – Different - It wasn’t your typical Pirlo performance, with some passes being exquisite whilst some were just plain lazy, including one pass following a poor free-kick by the magician himself that led to a Malmo counter. Wasted a few good freekicks too. Paul Pogba – 6 – Worker - Worked well during the game and grabbed an assist for his troubles. Impressed on occasion with some good passing but failed to show the flair we know he has. Arturo Vidal – 5 – Slacked - Every Juventus fan must just be asking what has happened to their Chilean. Immense last season, he has failed to shine thus far and it was evident today. Sloppy passes are still in his game as he makes problems for himself. Mind must be on other things. CARLOS TEVEZ – 7 – Goalscorer - You know a good striker by their movement alone and Tevez does that with a plomb. Twists and turns from his defenders with ease and got a fairly deserved goal to clinch all three points at the end with a smart finish. Fernando Llorente – 6.5 – Matchwinner - Scored the goal which gave his team a massive three points and brought a dire game into some form of worth. Took his goal cooly as he rounded Olsen. Made way for Morata with about twenty left on the clock. Substitutes Alvaro Morata – 5 – Miss - Arrived onto the scene with time to shine, ran about a bit before missing from point blank range when it was easier to score, smashing his effort onto the bar from a Tevez cut-back. Roberto Pereyra – 5 – Booking - Only gets a rating and adjective because he came on with about seven minutes to go and got the first booking of the game after being on the field for 90 seconds. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Player Ratings Nov 26, 2014 Malmö FF 25 R. Olsen - Though a number of shots were straight at him, he still pulled off a number of saves. Hard to blame him for the last two goals. 3 A. Tinnerholm - Involved in a few promising attacks in the first half, but could not maintain that effect for the second. 21 E. Johansson - He headed the ball straight to Pogba in the buildup to the second and though he had some justification to call for a foul, he was still sent off for his protests. 4 F. Helander - Caught out on the break for both Juve goals. 20 Ricardinho - Offered nothing in attack and was suspect in the second half. 7 M. Eriksson - Rather wasteful in the end despite seeing a lot of the ball. 8 E. Adu - Had a decent try in the second half, one of the rare positive moments for his side. 6 M. Halsti - Overrun in midfield by the passing and quality of his opponents. 33 E. Forsberg - Led the hosts on the break twice in the first half but could not fashion the requisite end product. 9 M. Rosenberg - Malmo's leading scorer could not get much of a glimpse on goal, apart from a late shot that Buffon saved. 24 I. Thelin - His speed won him a few shooting chances, but he fluffed his lines each time. Juventus 1 G. Buffon - Only called into action at the very last, pushing a Rosenberg shot around the post. 26 S. Lichtsteiner - Was not tested much defensively and spent most of his time involved in the build up. 19 L. Bonucci - Solid at the back, though he had nothing to do in the second half. 3 G. Chiellini - Snuffed out every single counter attacking threat that came down his side. 20 S. Padoin - Got forward increasingly in the second half, picking out a few fine crosses. 8 C. Marchisio - His off-the-ball movement was superb, but he could not beat Olsen. However, he instead turned provider, releasing Llorente for the opener. 21 A. Pirlo - Played a few choice passes from deep but was lazy to track back on one potentially crucial occasion. 6 P. Pogba - Set up the second goal by latching onto a knock down and sliding a great pass into Tevez. 23 A. Vidal - Broke up play and was heavily involved in the final third, linking well with his teammates. 10 C. Tévez - Came close a few times before a fortunate finish clinched the game for Juve. Set up Morata for a great chance to boot. 14 F. Llorente - Raced onto a through ball to round the keeper for the opening goal of the game. Substitutes 37 R. Pereyra - Added some poise on the ball against tired Malmo legs. 9 Álvaro Morata - Hit the bar from an embarrassingly open position. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Allegri: 'Angry at wasteful Juve' Nov 26, 2014 Max Allegri wants Juventus to “go for it” against Atletico Madrid, but was “angry” at wasteful finishing in Malmo. The Bianconeri had lost five of their previous six away games in the Champions League, but won 2-0 in Sweden this evening. “Qualification and first place are still up for grabs. It won’t be a simple game, but we can win the group and have to go for it,” he told Sport Mediaset. “I think the team had a good performance. We struggled a little in the first half, as they were pressing us and we couldn’t really pass the ball to feet on that pitch. We had to stay tight and occasionally conceded a counter. “After the break we played better and Malmo fell away. We just had to finish off the game, which eventually we did.” Allegri was spotted on the touchline raging, kicking water bottles and screaming at his players. “I was above all angry in the second half that we didn’t score another goal after Llorente’s opener and it was still open after three really clear chances. “We ran the risk of conceding from a ricochet or a cross into the box. It happened to us in Madrid and Greece, so when we have the chances to score, we have got to take them.” A point against Atletico Madrid in Turin would be enough to qualify, but a victory by two clear goals would allow Juve to win the group. “You approach it trying to win with two clear goals, as topping the group would give us a better draw for the next round. If we have to meet a group winner in the next phase, it’ll be more difficult.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Can you hear the drums Fernando? Llorente finally hits right note for Juventus The Spanish striker overcame a dreadful start to the season to net the Bianconeri's most crucial goal of the European campaign so far. Nov 26, 2014 By Kris Voakes | International Football Correspondent Cometh the hour, cometh the Lion King. Juventus’ recent Champions League history has been littered with trips to Scandinavia which have brought nothing but frustration and regret. Their visit to Nordsjaelland two seasons ago finished with a 1-1 draw which to a large extent was flattering to the Italian champions, while their return to Denmark last year saw two more points dropped against Copenhagen. The trip to Malmo in Sweden on Wednesday threatened to be another banana skin, with Juve’s hopes of progressing to the round of 16 needing a serious leg-up. But their 2-0 victory put to bed their ills on the road in Europe, and it was their most out-of-form player who won the game for them. One goal in his first 12 appearances this season had left Fernando Llorente fighting for his future, with Alvaro Morata deputising for two games in early November with reasonable success. The widespread calls for the ex-Real Madrid man to be given an extended run were gathering momentum. And since returning to the starting XI, Llorente netted twice in the 7-0 drubbing of Parma but then was disappointing once more in the win at Lazio last weekend, hooked just 13 minutes into the second half. Against Malmo he was given another chance to start and was similarly quiet for long spells. But this time he managed to deliver when it was needed, putting the Bianconeri on the road to victory with the opening goal just after the interval. And it wasn’t a typical Llorente finish either. The Swedish defence opened up just far enough for Claudio Marchisio to play the ball into space between the back four and goalkeeper Robin Olsen. The Spaniard marched forward, feigned past Olsen and slid the ball beyond two retreating defenders into the back of the net. It was a huge goal at a crucial point of Juventus’ season. It was only his fourth strike of the campaign, but the Turin outfit have scored few more vital goals in recent memory. Juve had had chances before then, but so too had Malmo. The home side might even have had a penalty had referee Pedro Proenca had the backbone to whistle for a clear foul by the disappointing Arturo Vidal. Llorente, though, was to be the man of the hour. One goal, of course, will not silence every critic. But Llorente proved at the Swedbank Stadion that he can still be Juve’s go-to man. He will need to perform on a much more regular basis over the course of this term, yet Wednesday’s goal will act as great currency when Massimiliano Allegri sits down to ponder his first XI for Sunday’s Turin derby and the trip to Fiorentina which follows. After that, of course, Juve host Atletico Madrid still needing a positive result to assure themselves of progression to the round of 16. But the win in Malmo, with Carlos Tevez’s late second relieving the last remnants of any nerves, at least means a draw will see them through regardless of Olympiakos’ result against the Swedes. Llorente still has a lot to prove, but his goal is a mammoth first step on the road back to redemption. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Malmo vs. Juventus: Score, Grades and Reaction from Champions League Game Nov 26, 2014 Juventus kept their chances of progressing to the next round of the UEFA Champions League alive with a 2-0 win over Malmo on Wednesday, scoring twice in the second half in a dominant performance. The fixture was overshadowed by a late scuffle that saw multiple players carded and one dismissed for protesting, but the Bianconeri were never threatened by a Malmo team incapable of producing much danger. As the favourites, Juventus took control of the ball from the opening whistle, pinning the hosts back in their own half. The first shot on goal was for the Swedes, however, with Kiese Thelin angling his drive on the wrong side of the post. The opening minutes were rather dull, so FourFourTwo's Adam Digby provided a fashion update: Adam Digby @Adz77 Because it's essential to know, Padoin, Vidal & Lichtsteiner all rocking short sleeves. Pogba too but he has gloves Malmo did an excellent job of limiting the feed to forwards Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente, forcing the Bianconeri to rely on the individual brilliance of Claudio Marchisio and Paul Pogba. Thelin had another good look on goal, this time smashing his shot well over the bar. Arturo Vidal's hard shot had goalkeeper Robin Olsen spilling the ball for a moment, but he was on point to deal with an Andrea Pirlo free-kick from a long way out. Magnus Eriksson tried to emulate Pirlo's free-kick with a long shot of his own, but as shared by Football Italia, his effort turned out to be quite the hilarious one: footballitalia @footballitalia Eriksson takes a huge run-up for his free kick... and hits Tevez, who was a one-man wall The Italians started to increase the pressure, and Marchisio nearly connected with one of Pirlo's patented chipped passes over the top. Juventus tried the move through Vidal minutes later, but Olsen produced a fantastic save with his foot to deny Marchisio from close range. UEFA.com's Nicklas Vinde was impressed: Nicklas Vinde @UEFAcomNicklasV Great save by @Malmo_FF goalkeeper Robin Olsen denies @juventusfc their first goal. Juventus continued to dominate possession, exposing themselves to counter-attacks. Malmo had a great opportunity for a shock lead minutes before half-time, but Emil Forsberg's shot ruffled the side netting. The score was 0-0 at half-time, with the Bianconeri dominating the ball but producing too few chances. Determined to change that, Juventus came out firing in the second half, and Olsen had to come up with another fine stop on a ranged effort from Marchisio. Tevez nearly found himself on the end of a sneaky ball from Marchisio before his attacking partner Llorente finally broke the deadlock, rounding Olsen after a great pass from Marchisio. Here's the Vine, via Football Live Goals: Football Live Goals @FootyLiveVines Llorente scores Juve's first of the night! The goal seemed to take the pressure off Juventus' shoulders, who started passing the ball around more freely. Seemingly desperate for a goal, Marchisio had another crack from range, firing it straight at Olsen. An excellent cross in from Pirlo had the Bianconeri faithful thinking their team would double the lead, but the ball somehow bounced off Llorente's shoulder and out of play. Enoch Kofi Adu nearly stunned the visitors when he was afforded too much space to shoot, but Gianluigi Buffon was well aware of the danger and snuffed out the shot. Simone Padoin found some space on the wing to deliver a good cross for Llorente, but his powerful header was aimed straight at Olsen, who dealt with it comfortably. Malmo couldn't produce any danger of note, and Juventus were content to take their foot off the pedal, protecting the one-goal lead. Passing the ball around with ease, the Bianconeri forced the hosts to chase the ball all over the pitch, wasting valuable energy. Markus Rosenberg tried his hand at an overhead kick but couldn't hit it with power thanks to some great defensive work from Giorgio Chiellini, and substitute Alvaro Morata nearly iced the game minutes later, slicing a shot onto the crossbar. The Vine, via Khaled Al Nouss, shows Morata's effort was a candidate for the list of worst misses of the year: Khaled Al Nouss @KhaledAlNouss Morata hits the crossbar. What a miss. https://vine.co/v/O1VeFDJ3mtH The young Spaniard redeemed himself moments later, using his body well to get the ball to Pogba, who in turn played in Tevez for the easy finish. DiMarzio's David Amoyal just knew the in-form Argentine would score: David Amoyal @DavidAmoyal Tevez has only one goal in a CL away match in his career- with United back in 2008 vs Lyon. I predict he adds to that tally tonight The hosts were furious with the official for not calling a foul on Morata, resulting in some wild scenes in front of goal. Johansson saw the red card after extended protests, while Olsen, Rosenberg and Morata were also booked during the scuffle. Rosenberg produced one final chance for the hosts, but his effort was parried by Buffon. Amid rains of boos from the stands and even more arguments on the pitch, the official signaled the end of the match. Grades Claudio Marchisio: B The Italy international sees his grade lowered for the plethora of chances he didn't convert, courtesy of a very strong Olsen. Still, Marchisio was active all night, providing plenty of danger around the box. His great pass set up Llorente for the opener, once again illustrating his wide skill set. Giorgio Chiellini: B+ A defensive rock, Chiellini continues to show why he's one of the world's best on a weekly basis. Malmo hardly threatened in the first half, but when they did, the big Italian was usually there to make sure nothing came off it. Robin Olsen: B Malmo could have realistically been down two or three goals at half-time if it hadn't been for the efforts of Olsen. Frustrating Marchisio in particular, the stopper had another fine night against the Italians. Post-Match Reaction FourFourTwo's Adam Digby didn't see Juventus at their best, but ultimately, it didn't matter: Adam Digby @Adz77 FT 2-0. Poor passing in midfield, some scrappy play on a bad pitch but Juventus take care of business. Job done. Nicklas Vinde believed Juventus thoroughly deserved the win: Nicklas Vinde @UEFAcomNicklasV The referee blows the final whistle and Juventus can travel back to Turin with a deserved win and three important points. As shared by Juventus' Twitter feed, manager Massimiliano Alergi believes his team has played better than the standings indicate, and he wants his players to rest and focus on Serie A for now: JuventusFC ✔ @juventusfcen .@OfficialAllegri: "For the performances we've put in so far during the #UCL, we should have more than nine points to our name." JuventusFC ✔ @juventusfcen .@OfficialAllegri: "We have two league games to focus on before Atletico. We can still top the group so need to prepare as best we can" Post-Match Outlook The win coupled with Olympiakos' 4-0 loss against Atletico Madrid means Juventus now control their own destiny going into the final matchday. Anything but a loss at home against the Spanish champions will see the Bianconeri qualify for the next round, and a win by two goals or more means they will top Group A. If Juventus lose, Olympiakos have to beat Malmo to qualify over the Bianconeri. The Swedes can no longer progress to the next round, but a win against Olympiakos would see Malmo leap over the Greeks in the standings and qualify for the Europa League. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Malmo 0-2 Juventus: Bianconeri Make Hard Work Of Swedes Nov 26, 2014 Juventus have overcome Malmo 2-0 at the Swedbank Stadion on Wednesday evening in the UEFA Champions league. It was Spaniard Fernando Llorente opened the scoring midway through the second half, followed by a mind-bending strike from Carlos Tevez at the death. Swedish forward Isaac Kiese Thelin had an early opportunity to put the hosts in the lead, however he squandered his attempt across the face of the goal. Coach Age Hareide’s men played a high pressing opening half and endeavoured to stretch the Italians on the flanks. While the Bianconeri enjoyed much of the possession, the home side mostly restricted them to coming forward on the counter. The Old Lady appeared unsettled in their passing, with both squads conceding easy balls and committing poor fouls. Indeed the stop start nature of the match clearly rattled coach Massimiliano Allegri’s men whose best chance came from midfielder Arturo Vidal, who drilled the ball towards the goal but was saved by goal keeper Robin Olsen. Midfielder Claudio Marchisio missed another stellar opportunity when the ball was played over the Malmo defence and directly onto his foot, however a poor touch from the Italian saw the ball land in the hands of Olsen. Despite a few clear cut chances, it was the Swedes who came forward on any given opportunity and fancied their chances against a laboured Bianconeri squad, who once again were struggling away from home. Their clear intent was contrasted by the Old Lady’s laziness who were lucky not to concede a penalty in the latter stages of the half following a Vidal smother on Markus Halsti. However the Bianconeri were a different side after the break and began the second period of play with a renewed hunger and vitality. It took only four minutes of play, for Spaniard Llorente who scored his fourth goal of the season following a well-timed and isolated run past the home side’s defence and the reach of Olsen. Stephan Lichsteiner continued to make threatening runs down the right and draw in fouls from the opposition. In fact it was a free kick awarded to the left-back that nearly saw the Old Lady double her lead, after an Andrea Pirlo’s strike narrowly missed the head of Llorente. Yet it was a different tale for the Swedish side who played within themselves for much of the second term and continually gave the ball away cheaply, allowing the Bianconeri to advance forward in numbers. The only clear chance of equalising came off the boot of Kofi Adu whose powerful strike was aimed directly into the chest of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. However it was the likes of Marchisio, Llorente and later Alvaro Morata who continued to be in the midst of the action. Indeed a Morata shot should have made the score line 2-0 yet his shot deflected off the bar. Yet only moments later, a long direct ball found Tevez, who struck the ball into the bottom left corner of the net past a helpless Olsen. The match did not end without controversy with a flurry of cards being shown by Portuguese referee Pedro Proenca, including a red card to Erik Johansson. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez give Juventus UCL hope Nov 26, 2014 Juventus ended their away day blues to reignite their chances of progressing from Group A of the Champions League with a 2-0 win over Malmo. Defeats on the road against Atletico Madrid and Olympiakos had left Juve in third place prior to kick off, but second-half goals from Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez gave the Italians a crucial win. Tevez's strike angered Malmo, with Erik Johansson seeing red for dissent, while two of his team-mates were also booked amid the protests. Juve move up to second place, three points behind Atletico and three clear of Olympiakos going into the final round of fixtures, while Malmo are left to fight for a Europa League place. Malmo began brightly with Isaac Kiese Thelin enjoying two early sights of goal, but not managing to test Gianluigi Buffon on either occasion. Instead, Juventus took control of the game as they began to pile up chances. Robin Olsen pushed Arturo Vidal's drilled effort to safety before holding Andrea Pirlo's free-kick. Claudio Marchisio's shot just before the half-hour mark was straight at the goalkeeper, while Stephan Lichtsteiner shot wide soon after. Olsen made a fine save to push Marchisio's volleyed effort around the post for a corner. Buffon got a rare touch when he held on to Thelin's shot five minutes before the break, while Vidal volleyed wide at the other end. Pirlo sent a free-kick into the wall and Malmo hung on until the break. However, the stalemate did not last long into the second half. Tevez had gone close moments before Llorente broke the deadlock, shooting low past the goalkeeper from Marchisio's assist. Still Juve came forward, with Tevez shooting wide from close range while Olsen kept out Llorente's header. Malmo were offering little and Juve finally killed the match off with two minutes to go. Seconds after Markus Rosenberg had warmed the palms of Buffon, Pogba played in Tevez and he bobbled in a right-footed shot. Malmo immediately protested with Johansson earning a head-start on his shower and Olsen and Rosenberg also booked. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Llorente: 'Juve want top spot' Nov 26, 2014 Fernando Llorente dedicated his Malmo goal to Juventus fans and warned “we want to top the group.” The 2-0 victory in Sweden and Atletico Madrid’s 4-0 win over Olympiacos puts the Bianconeri second in Champions League Group A on nine points. Atleti have 12 points and Olympiacos six. This means the Italians will be qualified for the knockouts with a point against Atletico Madrid in Turin. A victory over Atleti by two clear goals would allow Juventus to top the group. “It was a very important game, we knew that we could only win and I am very happy, as the team put in a great performance,” Llorente told Sport Mediaset. “The whole team worked together and when we had the ball, we played really well. The team is very happy, there is one game to go and it depends on us now. We could even still win the group and want to go for it. “I dedicate the goal to all the fans who came here to see us, as they are very important.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Juventus secure win over Malmo in Champions League clash Goals from Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez guide Juventus to a 2-0 win over Malmo in their Champions League clash this evening. Nov 26, 2014 The visitors pressed early in the game and Stephan Lichtsteiner did well down the right as he raided forward and cut the ball back to Arturo Vidal on the edge of the area. The midfielder then powered an effort at goal, which was well saved by Robin Olsen. Juventus were dominating possession in the match, but were struggling to carve out opportunities in the final third as Malmo defended well in numbers to stifle the visitors' quick passing game. Massimiliano Allegri's side threatened when Andrea Pirlo produced a moment of magic out of nothing as he released the run of Claudio Marchisio over the top of the Malmo defence. The Italy international had to stretch for the ball and couldn't get enough contact to poke it past Olsen. The visitors could have taken the lead just before the break when Vidal picked out Marchisio at the back post, but his effort on the first-time volley was well saved by Olsen. Malmo had an excellent chance to go ahead on the whistle when Markus Rosenberg raided upfield following a poor free kick from Pirlo. The striker drove to the edge of the area, but he fired his shot just past the post. In the second half, Marchisio should have broken the deadlock when a loose ball fell to him inside the penalty area, but his shot was well saved by the sprawling dive of Olsen. However, Juventus did take the lead in the 49th minute when Marchisio released the run of Llorente through the middle, and the striker kept his composure to round Olsen and slot the ball home. The visitors tried to kill the game off as Vidal showed his class teed up Marchisio on the edge of the area with a pinpoint pass, but the midfielder's effort at goal was beaten away by Olsen. Juventus sealed their win in the 88th minute when Tevez slotted the ball past Olsen after latching onto Paul Pogba's through ball. Matters got worse side when Erik Johanssen was sent off for his second bookable offence. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) CL: Juventus conquer Malmö Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez gave Juventus a precious 2-0 win in Malmo, so a draw against Atletico Madrid will qualify them. Nov 26, 2014 There was good news from elsewhere, as Atletico Madrid comfortably beat Olympiacos 4-0. The Bianconeri had lost both their previous away games at Atletico Madrid and Olympiacos, both 1-0, so this was a must-win game. Kwadwo Asamoah, Andrea Barzagli and Martin Caceres missed out, while Patrice Evra and Angelo Ogbonna returned for a spot on the bench. Arturo Vidal was picked as the trequartista supporting Carlos Tevez – who scored both goals in the 2-0 victory in Turin – and Fernando Llorente. Malmo missed Johan Hammar, but Markus Rosberg had scored four of their last five Champions League goals. The playing surface was very poor and Juve complained to UEFA before kick-off, stopping short of a formal protest. The Italians wore their all-green strip, which had only been used before in Madrid. Isaac Kiese Thelin fired a couple of early half-chances well off target. Juventus created their first opportunity after 15 minutes when Stephan Lichtsteiner charged down the right and pulled back for Vidal, whose powerful but central shot was beaten away. Andrea Pirlo chipped a pass over the top and at full stretch Claudio Marchisio only got a stud to it, not enough to direct the ball past the goalkeeper. Marchisio had an even better chance on 36 minutes in a similar situation, this time sent through by Vidal, but the volley forced a sensational reaction save out of Robin Olsen. Kiese Thelin fired straight at Gigi Buffon after Juve failed to clear a corner, while Emil Forsberg hit the side-netting when sent clear by Rosenberg. Pirlo hit a free kick into the wall and sparked a Forsberg counter-attack, but he scuffed his shot under pressure from Lichtsteiner. Within seconds of the restart, Marchisio’s half-volley was parried by Olsen, then Tevez was inches away from poking in Vidal’s cross-shot at the back post. The deadlock was broken by Fernando Llorente, who until then had barely made an impact. He ran on to a Marchisio through ball and sprinted towards goal, keeping his cool to go round the goalkeeper and deposit into an empty net despite attempted goalline clearances. Remarkably, that was Juve’s first away goal of the Champions League campaign after 32 attempts. Marchisio tested Olsen again after a long period of Juventus pressure and Llorente nodded wide from a free kick, but Buffon also smothered an Enock Adu snapshot. Llorente’s weak header was straight at Olsen and Rosenberg attempted an overhead kick from a knocked on set play. It somehow wasn’t 2-0 on 86 minutes, as Roberto Pereyra rolled across for Alvaro Morata who incredibly hit the underside of the bar from a yard. It seemed easier to score than miss. Buffon smothered a Rosenberg effort, but Juventus finally got their second. Morata shoved Johansson, sparking a Pogba counter and Tevez scuffed his finish, but it still dribbled past Olsen into the empty net. Johansson was furious and received two yellow cards for dissent. Rosenberg had a good chance in stoppages, but Buffon denied him with a smart one-handed save at the near post.

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS 0 - 2 Fernando Llorente (49') Carlos Tévez (88') Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Malmo 0-2 Juventus: Llorente and Tevez on target as Bianconeri boost qualification hopes The Spaniard broke the deadlock four minutes after the interval before his strike partner sealed three precious points for the Italian champions with a late strike. Nov 26, 2014 Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez got the goals as Juventus climbed into second place in Champions League Group A with a 2-0 win at Malmo. With Atletico Madrid winning against Olympiacos, the Italian champions moved into second place with a three-point cushion, as Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez delivered the decisive goals. Malmo goalkeeper Robin Olsen ensured the two sides went into the break level with three important saves to deny Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio, twice. However, Malmo's resistance was finally broken early in the second half as Llorente netted his first goal of this season's competition with a composed finish. Chances continued to arrive for the visitors and after Marchisio and Llorente had wasted good opportunities, Tevez secured the win with two minutes to play, before defender Erik Johansson was sent off for the hosts. Victory means a point against Atletico in their final group match will see Juve through, no matter what Olympiacos do, while Malmo's adventure in the competition is over. Massimiliano Allegri made two changes from Juve's Champions League win over Olympiacos on matchday four, with Simone Padoin - who was sent off against Lazio in Serie A on Saturday - and Llorente coming into the side. After a fast start from the hosts, who were unchanged from their last European outing against Atletico, the game's first effort on goal did not arrive until the 16th minute, as Stephan Lichtsteiner raced down the right wing unopposed. Malmo failed to deal with the full-back's cross, allowing Vidal a free shot from the edge of the penalty area that Olsen had to be alert to parry. Juve continued to push for the opening goal and Marchisio had two chances before the break, only to be denied by Olsen on both occasions. His first effort after 28 minutes came following a chipped pass from Andrea Pirlo, but the midfielder was unable to divert the ball past Olsen, and seven minutes later the goalkeeper made a superb reaction save to deny the 28-year-old again. Malmo's only effort of the first half came in the closing minutes, as Emil Forsberg jinked past the Juve defence only to see his low effort beat Gianluigi Buffon but end up in the side netting. Marchisio's personal battle with Olsen continued in the opening minute of the second half, but once again the 24-year-old got down well to keep the Italy international at bay. Two minutes later the goal came, though, as Marchisio turned provider with a defence-splitting pass for Llorente, the Spanish forward rounding Olsen to fire home from six yards. Having been a mere spectator for much of the second half, Buffon was finally called into action after 64 minutes when Enoch Adu found space on the edge of the penalty area, but the Juve goalkeeper had no trouble gathering a tame effort. Llorente should have doubled his tally with 20 minutes to play as he rose to meet a Padoin cross from the left, but he headed straight at Olsen. Juve doubled their advantage with two minutes left as Paul Pogba broke free in the Malmo half before playing in Tevez, the Argentine striker scuffing his shot past Olsen and into the goal. To add to Malmo's frustration, they were reduced to 10 men following the goal as Johansson was sent off for a second-bookable offence in the build-up. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

Buffon must not ruin his legacy like Casillas One of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of the sport must be careful not to play on for too long or else he risks suffering a similar fate to the Real Madrid man. Nov 26, 2014 By Carlo Garganese "Buffon looked like a pensioner. He should have saved that shot. Maybe he was not expecting him to strike it from there. He shot from 120 metres!" These were the words of Germany icon Franz Beckenbauer last year when Gianluigi Buffon made perhaps the biggest error of his legendary career, somehow allowing a long-range strike from David Alaba to trickle past him as Bayern Munich defeated Juventus in a Champions League quarter-final clash. Although he later apologised for his rather disrespectful remarks, there was an element of truth in der Kaiser’s comments. Italian television’s satirical show 'Striscia la notizia' even poked their own fun at the Azzurri No.1, presenting him with a blanket, a dressing gown and a pair of slippers when he returned to Turin. Buffon took it all with good grace, but 18 months on from this incident he is again in the firing line after his recent blooper for Italy in the Euro 2016 qualifier against Croatia in Milan. In a match that was overshadowed by crowd trouble, Buffon was left with a red face after failing to save a simple effort from Ivan Perisic. In January, Buffon will turn 37 and - as is only natural for someone of his advanced years - it is becoming increasingly clear that his time at the top is coming to an end. The ex-Parma man is making more and more mistakes. Over the past year or so, there have been further gaffes against Didier Drogba and Galatasaray, Giuseppe Rossi and Fiorentina and on a number of occasions at the Confederations Cup. Buffon’s reflexes and particularly the speed at which he goes to ground and moves his feet have slowed significantly. When it comes to positioning, decision-making, aerial ability and organising a defence, Buffon remains one of the best in his role. The top goalkeepers are usually those who don't need to make saves because they prevent them from being created, not those who are forced into dramatic highlight-reel stops because they can't read the game or command their area. In this respect, it is important not to be too over-dramatic. Buffon remains one of Serie A’s best goalkeepers and perhaps only Paris Saint-Germain’s Salvatore Sirigu can legitimately stake a claim for his Azzurri shirt today. This season, Buffon has kept 10 clean sheets and has let in just four goals in 11 Serie A games – Juventus have never conceded fewer at this stage of the season. He still commands the respect of his peers and this week was one of five goalkeepers nominated for the 2014 FIFA FIFPro World XI. But the warning signs are there that a spectacular fall – similar to that of Iker Casillas – could be around the corner unless Buffon steps out of the limelight before it is too late. It would be very sad if one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time – an iconic figure who burst onto the scene as a 17-year-old with a string of miraculous stops for Parma against Fabio Capello’s all-conquering Milan – was to damage his legacy by playing on for too long. For all of Casillas’ incredible achievements during his own stellar career, the Spaniard will never be able to remove the stain from the last two years - having become something of a laughing stock. Casillas has perhaps never been on Buffon’s level, but he should have seen that the writing was on the wall for his Real Madrid and Spain career. By failing to do so, he will never be remembered in the same way again. His catastrophic mistakes at this summer’s World Cup will be replayed over and over in tournaments to come. Buffon has the power to avoid a similar fate, but right now he has no intention of slowing down. Last week he signed a new contract in Turin that will tie him to Juventus until the summer of 2017. The Bianconeri possess a number of talented young shot-stoppers on their books such as Nicola Leali and Laurentiu Branescu, but Buffon is untouchable for club and country. Primed to be Italy’s No.1 at Euro 2016, he also has his heart set on becoming the first footballer in history to play in six World Cups. Buffon will be 40 when Russia 2018 comes along. “He will keep playing until that age and be in goal for the 2018 World Cup,” his agent Silvano Martina promised recently. Buffon currently has 146 Italy caps, he is only 14 appearances away from entering the top 10 most capped international players of all time. The all-time record-holder, Ahmed Hassan of Egypt, is on 184 caps and could be in Buffon’s reach if he plays until 2018. ''I'll keep playing as long as I don't become a reserve,'' Buffon has noted. ''Once the day comes that I get benched, that's when I'll hang my boots up.'' As the most universally loved and respected footballer in Italy, it is more likely that Buffon will have to take his own decision on when to stop playing. His desire to create history is admirable – but he needs to be honest with himself. When he knows he is no longer able to perform at the highest level, he should retire. One of the all-time greats of the sports deserves to exit the game as a winner and not as a “pensioner”.

Che pirla Roberto, il portiere dell'Olimpyakos.

La birra fa brutti scherzi.

Buon segno!

Mi piace buttar fuori gli svedesi dopo il biscotto con la Danimarca anni fa.

Quando soffrono gli svedesi per qualche ingiustizia mi fa sempre piacere dopo il biscotto con la Danimarca di anni fa.
