One point from the round of 4. Juventus does its duty and now finds its European destiny in its own hands. Merit of Arturo Vidal, a real demolisher of Copenhagen with a killer hat-trick, and Carlo Ancelotti, who with his Real Madrid literally walked on Mancini's Galatasaray (1-10), moreover with a man down for a large part of the match. And so, after the championship, even the Champions League table smiles again at the Lady, so far rather disappointing in the European arena. Now there are six points, two more than the Turks and the Danes, and as a result the chances of qualifying rise visibly. On XNUMX December, in the hell of Ali Sam Yen, a draw will suffice for the bianconeri, a result which, given yesterday's Galatasaray, is anything but prohibitive.
But Juve must not make the mistake of underestimating their opponent, otherwise they will be in pain. The umpteenth test took place yesterday, when after the 1-0 scored by Vidal in the 29th minute (penalty caused by a crazy touch of the hand by Jacobsen), the bianconeri were reflected a little too much in their indisputable superiority. Unforgivable attitude in the Champions League and in fact the Danes drew with Mellberg, ironically the former far from regret (56 '). At that moment, with the result at the Bernabeu still tied, many smelled the joke. “Even in the first leg they scored on an inactive ball – Conte commented bitterly. – Luckily we were good at reacting, but if we hadn't conceded a goal I would have been much happier." However, the bitterness of the Stadium did not last long, just long enough to see the real Olof Mellberg again. Who overwhelmed Llorente in the area in the 60th minute, causing the second penalty of the match.
Vidal was again on the spot, who as a true specialist coolly converted a very heavy ball. And when a minute later King Arthur completed the work with a cross header, Juventus Turin was able to really indulge in the party. Also because, in the meantime, only positive news was arriving from Madrid. Now all that remains is to overcome the last obstacle, to best complete a fluctuating but nonetheless positive European journey. “We will play it in a very warm environment – thought Conte. – What matters most, however, is that everything is in our hands, we won't need to wait for other results. Due to our DNA we will not be able to make calculations, we will have to play the game and win it". The roar of the Juventus coach is that of his people. That now he daydreams, because Juventus' Champions League is smiling again.
