Glad to see the back of Spurs. And that fool Pochettino proudly put all his eggs in this basket, completely ignoring the local cups as if they were beneath the great Spurs, winners of countless trophies. Sit down, be humble!

Chiellini basically saying it’s in Tottenham’s DNA to fail 😆

It was a great interview, very frank. Very touching bit on Astori at the end too.

😆

As much as I love seeing the scum lose, it saddens me to realise that this is now the highlight of our season.

What's even funnier than betting everything on a cup they were never going to win is how he underestimated one of the best teams in the world. Who does that?

I think that what we saw here, aside from some really naive football from Spurs, was how much experience counts on the pitch. Juve have faced these situations a thousand times. They got lucky a few times yesterday, especially when bad refereeing saved them from a red card, but they don't panic, they know what to do. I wish our experiences over the last couple of years had taught our players half as much, but I reckon that's the big difference between being world class and merely being decent. It's not technique, it's memory. The really good ones learn something in every game they play, and they memorise it.

For all the good Pochettino has done - and he has done plenty - he got shown up. Allegri subbed on Lichtsteiner and Asamoah, two scrubs basically, and shifted to a straight team shape with more width. You'd be hard pressed calling it a tactical masterstroke, but when you have two of the best strikers in Europe up front you just need to supply them. Pochettino didn't adjust, and a few minutes later Lichtsteiner had assisted the first goal.

You gotta love how Spurs were caught with that ridiculously high defensive line on Juve's second goal too. If we had defended like that you wouldn't hear the end of it. Going out like that has to be devastating for the team morale. I hope the shock puts them on a long losing streak.

Well done Klaus. Now what do think of a strike force that has both Welbeck and Mkhitaryan?

Let’s go kill Milan with jokes

Agree with everything you said but this - I think the ref and linos gave their absolute best to make sure Tottenham went through. The dive from Trippier and the full metre Kane was offside when he hit the post were bad enough but there's no way you don't give the penalty on Costa unless you're a bent piece of shit

Anyways as Chiellini said - it's the history of the Tottenham. Even with the ref at their side and Juve playing like complete garbage for most of the tie they always let you down

Spurs fans all look a certain way. It's disgusting, but this is a beautiful photo.

I might be mistaken but it definitely looked like Barzagli was stamping on Son intentionally (beautiful image). Juve should have had a penalty though so the law of averages can probably be applied.

I think the referees were just straight up useless rather than playing favourites, and since Juventus were the ones defending and playing physical there were a lot of whistles against them.

Absolutely love Szczesny sticking one up them and Chiellini's post match comments 😆

Gwan Sevilla - give us a laugh at José's expense

Nzonzi is such a dominating midfielder.

Sevillas finishing is too powderpuff. Man u are playing crap but one of their lummocks will just jam a few goals in

Counting how many times Sanchez gives the ball away is about the only entertaining thing about United. Mind you Vasquez? Is putting him to shame on that front so far.

Decent enough on the ball too. Was never that keen on him but I’ve been impressed in these games.
