In the run to confirm his victory in the Italian league, Juventus faces the clear favorite, the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League against Monaco, one of the surprises of the competition.
It will be a rematch of the semifinals of the 1997/98
season, when Juve, led by Marcelo Lippi, won the trip to Monaco Jean Tigana 4-1
advantage in the Louis II retained despite fell 3 -2.
The "Vecchia Signora" expects confirm that
condition favorite to return to Europe despite twelve years after his last
semifinal in the continental showpiece, in a season that seems to have found
its former greatness again.
But after stumbling against Parma, bottom club in the
thirtieth day of Serie A, the coach Massimiliano Allegri has asked his staff,
undisputed leader of the league with twelve points ahead, more concentration to
avoid a scare in Europe.
The former coach of Milan bet on your best starting
lineup, with the known exception of the French injured Pogba. So, predictably
ahead will be the ensemble formed by the forwards Carlos Tevez and Álvaro
Morata, wreckers in the away win over Borussia Dortmund (0-3) in the second leg
of the second round of the Champions League.
The evergreen Andrea Pirlo, although it has been called,
is still recovering from his recent injury and is not yet clear whether Allegri
decided to have him throughout the match or alternate.
Something that seems to care less at the tip of the
attack, where the veteran Berbatov seems to lease your Martial put the youth.
