JUVENTUS 0 - 2 BAYERN Mario Mandzukic (64′) Claudio Pizarro (90+1′) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Carlos Velasco Carballo (Spain) Attendance: 40823‎ Juventus 0-2 Bayern Munich (Agg 0-4): Germans impressive march to semis for Bayern The Croatian striker opened the scoring midway through the second half before substitute Claudio Pizarro added a second right at the death. Apr 10, 2013 Bayern Munich booked their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League with another commanding defeat of Juventus, the newly-crowned German champions triumphing 2-0 in Turin on Wednesday night to seal a 4-0 aggregate win over their Italian counterparts. The Bavarians soaked up what little the Bianconeri could throw at them during the early exchanges of both halves before eventually putting the outcome of the tie beyond all doubt when Mario Mandzukic converted from close range just after the hour-mark. Juventus tried to rally but there was to be no way back for Antonio Conte's game but limited side, who were opened up again in the dying seconds when substitute Claudio Pizarro fired home. While the Bianconeri had to make do without suspended duo Arturo Vidal and Stephan Lichtsteiner, they were at least buoyed by Mirko Vucinic’s return to full fitness, with the Montenegrin having been restricted to the role of substitute in Munich. Unsurprisingly, a fired-up Vucinic was particularly prominent early on, curling a tame strike into the arms of Manuel Neuer before then lofting the ball into the path of Claudio Marchisio, who drove forward with will menace only to then blaze high and wide as the Bayern goal came into range. Bayern, though, weathered what was a very early and a very brief storm, and it took an expertly executed sliding challenge from Simone Padoin to prevent Mandzukic from finishing off a terrific move down the right-hand side involving Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery. Andrea Pirlo lifted the home fans with a stinging free kick from the edge of the area that Neuer did well to fist over the bar, while Paul Pogba flashed a ball across the face of the six-yard box that criminally went unconverted. However, for all the Bianconeri’s bluster, and the loss of Daniel van Buyten to injury 35 minutes in, Bayern looked reasonably comfortable and they arguably finished the half the stronger, with Gianluigi Buffon having to produce a flying save to keep out a well-struck drive from David Alaba. Vucinic, though, put Juve back on the front foot with a barnstorming run right at the heart of the Bayern back-line immediately after the interval and, just moments later, strike partner Fabio Quagliarella flashed a shot just wide of Neuer’s right post. However, the increasingly desperate hosts unsurprisingly began to leave holes at the back and one brilliant Bayern breakaway on 57 minutes really should have resulted in the opening goal, Mandzukic deftly laying the ball off into the path of Robben, who took a touch before striking the post with a sublime curling effort from 20 yards out. The Bavarians’ disappointment did not last long, though, with Mandzukic on hand to convert the rebound after Buffon had done brilliantly to keep out Javi Martinez’s point-blank range volley from a Bastian Schweinsteiger free kick. The visitors should have doubled their advantage moments later but Thomas Muller blazed over after being put through by Robben. However, Bayern would get the second goal their dominance deserved when Pizarro slotted home after slipped in by Schweinsteiger to put the seal on another statement of intent from a side clearly driven by their desire to atone for last season's defeat by Chelsea.

Muller sbaglia il 2-0

Tutti a casa.

28 minuti alla fine, Antonio dovrebbe cambiare qualcosa ora.

Basta guardare chi hanno loro in panchina.

La bolgia la stanno facendo i tifosi tedeschi.

Palo di Robben in contropiede.

Ora Robben e Ribery sulla stessa fascia, hai detto niente.

E se entrasse Giaccherini al posto di Pirlo?

Fuorigioco di Quagliarella.

Pirlo mette in difficoltá Barzagli e poi salva in angolo.

Come gioca Mandzukic, ci servirebbe uno cosí.

Mandzukic corre come un pazzo.

Gran tiro di Quagliarella sul palo esterno.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - Quarter Final - 10-4-2013 (8:45 p.m.) ................ JUVENTUS - BAYERN Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Carlos Velasco Carballo (Spain) HT 0-0: Juve hit Bayern brick wall Apr 10, 2013 Andrea Pirlo and David Alaba forced tough saves, but Juventus-Bayern is still goalless at half-time in Turin. The Bianconeri had a mountain to climb in order to reach the Champions League semi-finals, having lost the first leg 2-0 in Munich. Arturo Vidal and Stephan Lichtsteiner were suspended, so Paul Pogba and Simone Padoin stepped into the starting XI with Fabio Quagliarella replacing the injured Sebastian Giovinco. Bayern won the Bundesliga last week with six games to spare and welcomed Javi Martinez back from his ban, though Toni Kroos suffered a thigh strain. As Antonio Conte requested, the atmosphere in the Juventus Stadium was deafening and a huge banner read: ‘Never give up, because when you think it’s all over, that is the moment where everything begins.’ After 84 seconds Mirko Vucinic scuffed his shot at Manuel Neuer, then Giorgio Chiellini went down in agony after a clash with Mario Mandzukic that saw the striker very harshly booked and therefore suspended for Bayern’s next game. Mandzukic went close to a goal on the counter, but turned wide under pressure from Padoin. Philipp Lahm tripped Claudio Marchisio right on the edge of the box for a free kick, from which Andrea Pirlo hit a missile that Neuer punched out from under the bar with great difficulty. Padoin tackled Ribery to win back possession and Vucinic threaded through for Pogba down the right, who flashed a ball across the six-yard box, but Asamoah was a fraction too late to get the final touch. Quagliarella smashed a long-range attempt high and wide, while Thomas Muller volleyed off target. Daniel Van Buyten requested a substitution, making way for Jerome Boateng, the brother of Milan star Kevin-Prince. Pogba’s first touch let him down in the D when Vucinic pulled back and he hesitated, allowing the shot to be charged down. David Alaba’s screamer surprised Gigi Buffon in the first leg, but this time a corner fell to the full-back for a powerful shot and the goalkeeper was ready, flying to palm it away. Juve went close from a free kick that was not dealt with, as Quagliarella and then Bonucci couldn’t finish it off from six yards. In first half stoppages Ribery scuffed a weak effort into Buffon’s arms, while Vucinic’s chipped pass for Padoin was crucially deflected out for a corner. Juventus 0-0 Bayern (Half-Time, 0-2 agg) Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Padoin, Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Vucinic, Quagliarella Bayern Munich: Neuer; Lahm, Dante, Van Buyten (Boateng 35), Alaba; Schweinsteiger, Javi Martinez; Robben, T Muller, Ribery; Mandzukic Ref: Carballo (SPA)

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - Quarter Final - 10-4-2013 (8:45 p.m.) ................ JUVENTUS - BAYERN Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Carlos Velasco Carballo (Spain) Marotta: 'Crowd our 12th man' Apr 10, 2013 Director general Beppe Marotta assures “Juventus believe in this comeback and the crowd is our 12th man” against Bayern Munich. This evening the Bianconeri aim to reach the Champions League semi-final despite a 2-0 first leg defeat. “Today the crowd is our 12th man and we hope the players can use this passion in their performance,” Marotta told Sky Sport Italia. “We believe in this comeback, as football has accustomed us to extraordinary turnarounds. Bayern are a solid and very physical side, but we will fight to the end. The lads and the Coach are fired up.” Marotta also thanked Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero for sending his support from Sydney.

Infatti, alcuni siti avevano pensato a Marchisio dietro alla punta, con Pogba al fianco di Pirlo e Vidal.

Addirittura! Pogba é giá bravissimo a 20 anni, non puó che migliorare.

Martinez lo hanno pagato 40 milioni? Come possiamo competere con questi?

Mandzukic fa la sceneggiata.

Stiamo solo aspettando la pausa.

Pressano in una maniera pazzesca.

Ci vorrebbe ora un goal della Juve, il Bayern sta purtroppo controllando la partita. Para Buffon.
