REAL MADRID - JUVENTUS October 23, 2013 8:45 PM Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid Referee: Manuel Gräfe (Germany) HT 2-1: Juve trail to Ronaldo brace Oct 23, 2013 Fernando Llorente’s goal keeps Juventus in the hunt, but they trail 2-1 at the break to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid brace. http://markting10.nl/ Elsewhere in the group, Galatasaray lead Copenhagen 3-0 after 45 minutes thanks to Felipe Melo, Wesley Sneijder and Didier Drogba. Antonio Conte was the captain of Carlo Ancelotti’s Juventus side, but they came face-to-face at the Bernabeu as Coaches. Conte radically altered his 3-5-2 system to a 4-3-3 with Claudio Marchisio pushed up alongside Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente. Mirko Vucinic, Fabio Quagliarella and Stephan Lichtsteiner were injured, so Martin Caceres and Angelo Ogbonna received rare starts. Real only missed Xabi Alonso, while Gareth Bale, Fabio Coentrao and Raphael Varane were only fit for the bench. The Bianconeri had just two draws against Copenhagen and Galatasaray, while Real Madrid were on a 100 per cent record so far. Juve were unbeaten against Real Madrid since a 1-0 here in February 2005, winning three on the bounce. http://markting10.nl/ In the opening 90 seconds Marchisio hit a screamer that Iker Casillas palmed round the post for a corner. However, Real Madrid took the lead when Cristiano Ronaldo sprung the offside trap from an Angel Di Maria slide-rule pass, dribbling round Gigi Buffon to deposit into an empty net. Caceres was late getting back and kept him in play. Casillas did well to punch a cross off Llorente’s head, while Tevez and Caceres drilled wide. Tevez skipped past two players on the Juventus left only to then curl just over the bar. Juventus managed to equalise when Casillas did very well to palm a Paul Pogba header off the line from a Caceres cross, but Llorente pounced on the rebound from a couple of yards. http://markting10.nl/ A free kick was floated into the box for Buffon to catch, but the goal line referee signalled a Giorgio Chiellini shirt-tug on Sergio Ramos. Ronaldo converted the penalty powerfully into the near top corner. It was the Portuguese star’s seventh goal in three Champions League games. Andrea Pirlo turned over after Pepe charged down a Marchisio effort in the box, while Ronaldo fired wide. Arturo Vidal needed treatment for a knee problem just before the break, so that’s a question mark for Conte. Juventus went into half-time trailing 2-1 despite having 52 per cent possession and 10 shots on goal to four at the Bernabeu. http://markting10.nl/ Real Madrid 2-1 Juventus (Half-Time) Scorers: Ronaldo 4, pen 29 ®, Llorente 22 (J) Real Madrid: Casillas; Arbeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo; Khedira, Illarramendi, Modric; Di Maria, Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo Juventus: Buffon; Caceres, Barzagli, Chiellini, Ogbonna; Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba; Marchisio, Tevez, Llorente Ref: Grafe (GER)

REAL MADRID - JUVENTUS October 23, 2013 8:45 PM Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid Referee: Manuel Gräfe (Germany) Marotta: 'Conte made decisions' Oct 23, 2013 Juventus director Beppe Marotta backed Antonio Conte’s radical changes against Real Madrid, but sees “mental fatigue.” http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri have switched to a 4-3-1-2 system at the Bernabeu this evening, shelving his usual three-man defence. “This is a top game, so everyone is fired up, from the club and fans to the players,” director general Marotta told Sky Sport Italia. “The difficult thing of the last few days was forgetting the defeat to Fiorentina, but these things happen. We have turned over a new leaf to reach this important page of our campaign.” http://markting10.nl/ Martin Caceres makes his first appearance since August, while Angelo Ogbonna also receives a very rare start. “The decision came from evaluating the devastating strength of our opponents, but also the psychological aspect of which XI to field. Conte did that with conscience and care. “I don’t want to get into the tactical issues too much, as those decisions are down to the Coach. Caceres is returning from an injury and Ogbonna hasn’t played recently, but they are both in good shape and can provide guarantees.” http://markting10.nl/ Marotta was asked why Juventus are dropping so many points in both Serie A and the Champions League. “This team is paying psychologically for two years of being out in front, but also that many of these players are called up for international duty, so there is mental fatigue. That is true of all teams with many internationals. “We are going through an unusual moment where things aren’t going very well in terms of goals conceded, that is just a statistical fact. I think it is primarily a psychological issue.”

Standing ovation dei tifosi spagnoli per Pirlo. Bellissimo.

` A me sembra che l'arbitro abbia invece fatto il segno della gomitata.

L'arbitro decide la partita a favore dei ricchi.

REAL MADRID - JUVENTUS October 23, 2013 8:45 PM Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid Referee: Manuel Gräfe (Germany) Line-ups: Real Madrid-Juventus Oct 23, 2013 Juventus change system to mirror Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid in the Champions League this evening. http://markting10.nl/ It kicks off at the Bernabeu at 20.45, as the Spaniards defend their 100 per cent record in the competition so far and Juve seek their first win after two draws against Copenhagen and Galatasaray. Cristiano Ronaldo is supported by Karim Benzema and Angel Di Maria, while Luka Modric gets the nod ahead of Isco. Gareth Bale is on the bench following a series of thigh and back problems, but Benzema, Fabio Coentrao and Raphael Varane are all back in the squad. http://markting10.nl/ Xabi Alonso is still out of action after breaking his foot, though Ancelotti keeps his promise and returns Iker Casillas to the net. Juventus have stuttered lately, managing just two draws in the Champions League so far against Copenhagen and Galatasaray, while on Sunday they fumbled a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2 at Fiorentina. Mirko Vucinic, Fabio Quagliarella and Stephan Lichtsteiner have not made the trip to Madrid, but Antonio Conte has transformed his tactics for this test against his former Juventus Coach Ancelotti. http://markting10.nl/ He shelved the usual 3-5-2 formation for a 4-3-1-2 with Fernando Llorente partnering Carlos Tevez and support from Claudio Marchisio in a more advanced trequartista role. The big surprises are in defence with Martin Caceres and Angelo Ogbonna stepping in, leaving Leonardo Bonucci and Kwadwo Asamoah on the bench. It’s a particular risk to start Uruguayan Caceres, who has only played in the Italian Super Cup this season back in August, as he had a knee injury. http://markting10.nl/ Ogbonna hasn’t done much better, featuring in one Champions League game and three Serie A matches. Juve won their last visit to the Bernabeu, 2-0 in November 2008 thanks to an Alessandro Del Piero brace which earned him a standing ovation. The Turin giants are unbeaten against Real Madrid since a 1-0 here in February 2005, winning three on the bounce. http://markting10.nl/ Earlier today the youth teams met in the UEFA Youth League, as Real Madrid won 6-2 with Enzo Fernandez on the field, the son of ex-Juve star Zinedine Zidane. REAL MADRID: Casillas; Arbeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo; Khedira, Illarramendi, Modric; Di Maria, Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid bench: Diego López, Varane, Coentrão, Bale, Carvajal, Morata, Isco JUVENTUS: Buffon; Caceres, Barzagli, Chiellini, Ogbonna; Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba; Marchisio; Tevez, Llorente Juventus bench: Storari, Isla, Bonucci, Peluso, Padoin, Asamoah, Giovinco

REAL MADRID - JUVENTUS October 23, 2013 8:45 PM Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid Referee: Manuel Gräfe (Germany) Real Madrid v Juventus: Probable line-ups Oct 23, 2013 Real Madrid and Juventus do battle at the Bernabeu in the Spanish capital on Wednesday night in what is a key Champions League fixture. http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri will know defeat could prove extremely costly for them given that they have picked up just two points from the opening two games. Former Old Lady coach Carlo Ancelotti has more or less a fully-fit Los Blancos squad to choose from with the only major absentee for him being reported Juve target Xabi Alonso. He will likely be fit for the return game in Turin but misses this one while Luka Modric is likely to come in for Isco who drops to the bench along with Gareth Bale while Iker Casillas has earned his spot back. http://markting10.nl/ Antonio Conte is set to field a 4-3-1-2 formation given the success Atletico Madrid had at the Bernabeu recently with a four man defence. Martin Caceres and Giorgio Chiellini will occupy the wide defensive positions with Andrea Barzagli and Leo Bonucci in the middle and Claudio Marchisio is set to offer support in attack to a twin strike force of Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente. Real Madrid: Casillas; Carvajal, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo; Khedira, Illaramendi, Modric; Di Maria, Benzema, Ronaldo. Juventus: Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini; Pogba, Pirlo, Vidal; Marchisio; Tevez, Llorente.

REAL MADRID - JUVENTUS October 23, 2013 8:45 PM Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid Referee: Manuel Gräfe (Germany) Real Madrid vs. Juventus: Prediction, Preview and How the Game Will Be Won Oct 23, 2013 Round 3 of the Champions League concludes on Wednesday night, with Real Madrid's clash against Juventus a clear marquee fixture. http://markting10.nl/ These two European giants have contested 19 of the 58 European Cup finals between them and, despite being in the early stages of this year's tournament, this match is already a crunch tie for the visitors. The Italian champions have stuttered against both Copenhagen and Galatasaray, collecting a pair of disappointing draws, and defeat in Madrid could already leave Antonio Conte's side cut adrift in Group B. Juventus have actually won four of their past five games against Madrid but are coming off a painful 4-2 defeat against Fiorentina, in which they were enjoying a 2-0 lead up until the 66th minute. http://markting10.nl/ Real have been inconsistent this season but produced a dominant 2-0 win against Malaga on Saturday, registering 22 shots to their visitors' three, according to WhoScored. They are now up to third in La Liga, just three points off the top. How the Game Will Be Won Cristiano Ronaldo is the obvious key man for Real, and Juventus' familiar 3-5-2 formation will provide him extra space out wide. http://markting10.nl/ On the ball he will either be able to pin back Simone Padoin or Mauricio Isla on the right—freeing up midfield for Real to dominate—or attract the likes of Andrea Barzagli to the flank, creating extra space in the middle. How Juve negotiate this balance will likely determine their fate and may even prompt a change of system from Conte, although that would also create familiarity issues. Ronaldo will be keen to add to his five goals scored in his first two Champions League games—although he will hope to find Gianluigi Buffon in far worse form than Willy Caballero was on Saturday. http://markting10.nl/ For the visitors, they must capitalise on the ongoing absence of Xabi Alonso and look to press Asier Illarramendi whenever possible. The 23-year-old will be tasked with supplying Real's attackers. If his production can be slowed, Juve have a better chance of maintaining their shape. Additionally, Real are yet to look convincing at the back, conceding nine goals in as many La Liga games. http://markting10.nl/ Carlos Tevez will provide them with one of their sternest tests this season and will be desperate to score his first Champions League goal for Juventus. Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Juventus Real Madrid are yet to find consistent cohesion this season, but Juventus' recent collapse against Fiorentina has highlighted key areas for Carlo Ancelotti's side to expose. Two advanced wingers proved difficult for the Italians to contain on Sunday, and Ronaldo along with either Gareth Bale or Angel di Maria are substantial upgrades on Joaquin and Juan Cuadrado. http://markting10.nl/ As mentioned, Real will either be able to pin their opponents' wide players back, or drag across a central defender, creating more room in the middle for the Spaniards to exploit. What will concern Juve further is how easily Fiorentina exposed them on the counterattack on Sunday. Should Juventus fall behind again, there are few sides more suited to a quick break than Real, who will look to pick them off as the Viola did.

REAL MADRID - JUVENTUS October 23, 2013 8:45 PM Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid Referee: Manuel Gräfe (Germany) Juventus set for formation shake up against Real Madrid Oct 23, 2013 Juventus coach Antonio Conte is ready to tinker with his tactics against Real Madrid when the sides meet in the Champions League on Wendesday night. http://markting10.nl/ While they lined out in a 3-5-2 in their capitulation in Florence on Sunday, he is set to ditch that in favour of a 4-3-1-2 when they venture to the Spanish capital. It is believed Giorgio Chiellini and Martin Caceres will line out in the full-back slots with Andrea Barzagli and Leo Bonucci in the middle at the back, according to various reports in the Italian media. http://markting10.nl/ Arturo Vidal, Paul Pogba and Andrea Pirlo are set to offer protection in front of them while Claudio Marchisio will be charged with performing in a trequartista role and support Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente in attack. The Bianconeri are desperate to pick up their first three points of this Champions League campaign against a Los Blancos side who have won each game.

Arsenal to target Llorente Oct 22, 2013 Fernando Llorente could be a January transfer target for Arsenal, at least according to stories in the British Press. http://markting10.nl/ The Daily Mirror have insisted this afternoon that the Juventus target man could be the subject of a bid from the Gunners during the winter window. The Spain international has struggled to cement a place in the Bianconeri XI since his summer move from Athletic Bilbao. http://markting10.nl/ And Arsene Wenger believes that he can persuade the forward to join the Premier League leaders with the promise of more regular football. The north London side are desperate to bring in another centre-forward, with Olivier Giroud as their only top-class striker.

REAL MADRID - JUVENTUS October 23, 2013 8:45 PM Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid Referee: Manuel Gräfe (Germany) Emerson: A spark for Juventus? Oct 23, 2013 A win for Juventus at Real Madrid would make them a serious contender for Champions League victory this season, says former midfielder Emerson. http://markting10.nl/ The Brazilian played for both clubs during his career and spoke to Canal+ this week ahead of tonight’s encounter. “Madrid are favourites, but we must not underestimate Juventus,” the 37-year-old, who left the Italians for Real in the summer of 2006, commented. http://markting10.nl/ “The Bernabeu is an ideal place to get a result and turn around their current situation. A win could be the spark needed for Juventus to reach the Final of the Champions League.” Juve have started this season’s European Cup campaign with some problems given their two draws against FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray. Real, meanwhile, have a 100 per cent record. Emerson added that Carlos Tevez and Andrea Pirlo would potentially be Juventus’ key men in Spain this evening. http://markting10.nl/ “Tevez is a great striker, but for the final leap in quality he must win with Juventus. With Pirlo close it will be easier for him,” continued the South American. “Andrea is one of a kind, we were teammates in Milan and his calmness during difficult moments was impressive.”

REAL MADRID - JUVENTUS October 23, 2013 8:45 PM Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid Referee: Manuel Gräfe (Germany) Cannavaro: Juve midfield may be key Oct 23, 2013 Fabio Cannavaro says Juventus’ ability in midfield could be the decisive factor at Real Madrid on Wednesday. http://markting10.nl/ “Juve are a very active team, very smart and they work hard tactically,” the 2006 World Cup winner told Marca. “They have very good players and one of the best midfields in the world with Paul Pogba, Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio. “The midfield may prove to be key to the game.” http://markting10.nl/ The former centre-back knows the two teams well given that he represented them during his illustrious playing career. “It is a special game for me, no doubt. Two of the best teams in the world meet and I have played for them both,” he added. “These are two teams that mean a lot to me. “Who will win? That’s not important, what is important is that they qualify for the next round. The truth is that neither of them have been doing well, they are struggling in this early season. http://markting10.nl/ “From experience, in these games there are no favourites. They are not doing well in their respective Leagues, but the Champions League is different. Anything can happen.” Juventus lost 4-2 at Fiorentina on Sunday, but Cannavaro thinks Real are struggling after Carlo Ancelotti replaced Jose Mourinho in the summer. “Madrid have started badly, but the League is not yet lost. They must keep fighting as that is the obligation of the club. We are in October and there is still much ahead. http://markting10.nl/ “I think that they are still getting used to Mourinho’s departure, because he leaves a very strong mark. It has happened at every team he has been at. “He is a Coach who provokes high tension and that demands a lot. Also, there is still the adaptation of the younger players. “Ancelotti is looking for something different in their style of play and that takes time. Meanwhile, at Juventus, after two great years, perhaps they lack a bit of hunger.”
