Barzagli is a key player for Juventus.
American commentators in general are terrible. NBC sports realized that so don't use them. Usually just watch games on mute when it's ESPN or fox sports because of how bad the commentators are.
Nice attempt at switching the conversation
Not switching the conversation but you would swear on this place that they were City, Liverpool, Spurs fan sometimes. The Premier League is one of the best entertaining wise but for people to say it's the best league in the world is false. Also how in the name of god can it be the best league in the world when City are romping it by 16 points? There hasn't been a proper title race for years in the Premier League since 2012-13 when Liverpool, City and Chelsea were going for the league. It's been a one-horse league since then
I remember him running rings at the United midfield in 2012, why didn't he join us?
Honestly no idea, was he not signed then as more of a forward than what he is now?
Let it go mate.
They turned over a pretty much full strength Madrid and even without Dybala this Juve team are hardly just there to make up the numbers.
Look at how well they move the ball and press and the composure they've shown to come back into this game. If we were 2-0 down after 10 mins against Juve I would have bet my house that we wouldn't come back.
City is clearly from another level but Basel was atrocious. I can't believe Benfica got crushed by these guys
Great result for Spurs.
I think Spurs will get through this one now.
Historic result for Spurs that.
However the second tie is still open if Dybala and Matiudi become fit. Both teams can bottle any result I guess.

Allegri straight down the tunnel there.
I think they would yeah or i wouldn't have said it, have you seen City play this season?
They are the closest team i've seen to Pep's Barcelona, you know what some call 'the best team in history'.
I think you have to always play 3 in CM against Spurs because that's how they take control of the match, with 3 CM (Eriksen as controller in final 3rd) and Alli amost a 4th CM. So you cannot play 2 man midfield against them.
Great performance from Spurs and especially Dembele. Fully deserved this result.
The only conclusion there is to draw from that is that Sweden is in the WC and Italy isn't.
Not anymore. He is 37 and Benatia has been superb lately.
Good result for Spurs.
Very good performance from Tottenham overall.
Excellent game, really enjoyed that.
Lucas Moura MOTM
Brilliant result.
feck off Juventus bottlers! You and the Champions League just don't get along well. Need Dybala back now or they are going out for sure.
Great result for us.
I personally don't give a feck about comparing leagues. I just love Man Utd and I don't care much for the rest.
However I think it is nice to see a bit o change in Europe, Juventus took part of 2 finals in recent years. It is time to feck off for a bit now.
Same with Real Madrid tomorrow hopefully.
Variety is good for the CL.
How is it untrue? So key players of a team are only the starters? A team is rubbish when it loses it's ability to be tactically flexible. And 'aside from Dybala'? That's the talisman for the team right there.
Not really. Juve just need a 0-1 win at Wembley.
Meaningless stat. Buffon has been injured for a while and Sczeszny has been replacing him very well for some time.
They are certainly favourites now. Got the result away and have clear advantage at home. The only thing Juventus got going is that they have more experience at this stage.
You're seriously underrating Barcelona and Messi. Have you seen them playing?
And maybe City is the closest to Pep's Barcelona in the way they play, but they still need to win something to be mentioned in the same breath with that team.
it is a bit upsetting, 'Spurs go to the 'old lady' and dominate while i fully expect Mou to park the bus in Sevilla...a bit upsetting
Honestly, not a bad result for Juve given who they were missing. If they have a healthy squad at Wembley they should progress
Excitement guaranteed in the return match. (Juve-Spurs, not the City one )
)Couple of glimpses of Eriksen and Moura linking up there. I reckon those two could be very effective together - the Brazilians pace and the lines he'll run will be like sheet music for Eriksen.
Brilliant performance from Spurs and a result their performance deserved.
Down 2-0, easy to go dominate possession against a Juve team happy to sit back. But its the last 20 mins when they were tied 2-2 that they still continued to dominate. Very very impressive.

can't see Juve winning in London on that performance
slim hopes

Have to say other than and offside goal and a brain fart we owned them tonight.
Unless Juve get some players back Spurs are big favorites to go through.
Ragazzi it's Tottenham! Oh wait
Great game and great result. It's a shame we have to wait so long for the second leg
