Champions League 16/17

That's Higuain's 30th goal this season, despite struggling with weight and injuries during the fall. He's going to help them win Champions League. You can't put a price on that kind of natural talent in front of goal.

Pogba really went down a peg to United.

Try telling that to his banker, realtor, and the salesman at Mercedes

How does he struggle with weight for so long. Doesn't he train?

And if you really want to see someone balling off his riches look no further than his barber.

Bakayoko having a pretty meh game

Higgy scored again, that's goodnight I think. I never really thought Monaco had a chance tonight.

Big Willie

Two of the easiest chances Higuain will ever get. Brilliant assists from Alves both times.

Game over. Masterclass by Juve

Alves is at least marcelos equal as the great modern fullback

I don't know Tone. He's never had problems with his weight before as far as I know.

Got robbed and outmuscled by Dybala of all people for the second goal. Never been particularly impressed by him anyway.

We failed with landing Suarez and Higuain in the same window because of £ 10 Million.

I don't know what saving that money has earned us over the last 4 years, spending that however could have brought us so much more.

Zorro goes off, Moutinho comes on. Can't help but think that Monaco would have made a better fist of this if they had started with more midfielders who can distribute the ball.

Alves is pretty underrated in general, probably the best RB of the last decade. Lichsteiner really have no chance once Alves joined.

MistaT

Yeah I hate Alves like I do few other players, but he's fantastic

Another top class delivery, Monaco just can't quite get to it. Been like this entire night.

Man how sweet would it be to have Allegri sort out our defence

Klaus

Buffon is unbelievable. Still the best keeper in the world for me.

Juventus just too good a team. Too much nous and knowhow.

Thought Sidibe was very good at left back for Monaco, especially considering he was just covering for Mendy there. Also thought Fabinho was very good in midfield - made lots and lots of good tackles. And Mbappé showed he can cut it at even this level - gave the Juventus defence all kinds of problems, Monaco just couldn't get the ball to him often enough. The rest of their players were shown as not quite being up to this elite level in my view.

I thought he was in a class of his own in Monaco when it came to creating something too. He was the only one who could work the ball forward between the lines until Moutinho came on. They should probably have played Fabinho in a more advanced position in this game, but it's an easy thing to say in hindsight. I don't think Jardim got anything massively wrong tonight. Juventus were just too good.
