They're up 3-0, apart from the penalty box behaviour you can't really fault much else.

Well they are an Italian team good defending always comes first for them and if that means defending against the weakest team left in the competition with 10 man to get the job done then that's what they'll do.
Why did the best-est-est-est fans ever all start leaving?
Juve won't be winning this competition.
Celtic had plenty of chances, tbf and Juve's goals have come from defensive mistakes.
It's hardly been some sort of elaborate strategy. This is a tactic inferior teams use more often due to lack of quality.
If they play like this against teams with more clinical finishers or more quality, then they'll get slaughtered as their own defense has looked dodgy too.

ramis scores for valencia 1-2
Valencia 1 goal back. Rami.
Watcha Vato!! Yup, I have watched just over one-half of the game and Valencia have been absolutely clueless. Even Celtic managed to put up more of a fight against Juventus.
Shock, Valencia scored, that is one for the archives...
Valencia get one back.
They are Italians, they are the ultimate pragmatists, they care little for your enjoyment.
In short Celtic may have been a bit dumb, but it has hardly been anything clever from Juve.
It's like you've not watched them play away in the CL this season. They set up similarly against Chelsea, Shahktar and even Nordsjaelland.
Blame whoever chose to play him within 48 hours of a major international final in another continent.
It's been defending that pushes the limits of what you can get away with. I remember Inter employing similar tactics against Chelsea at SB. Ruthless, risky but effective. It's in the DNA.
Rami pulls one back for Valencia, 1-2 now.
Super turn by Wanyama there.
Feel sorry for Celtic getting beat by a better team but not a better club absolute scum bag of a club Juve should have got a serious ban from all European competition after their cheating ways. Could only imagine what would have happened to any of the English teams had they done the same.
A perfect Italian like performance
Red for Ibra. Harsh.
Zlatan is offIbra red!
Stupid from the Celtic coach to play Ambrose.What the hell did he expect him to do ? It's the CL and the guy is barely returning from partying with the Nigerian national team
Zlatan gone... This is making my week.
This is making my week.Juventus have been classy to be fair, didn't give Celtic a sniff, then knocked them out Ali Vs Foreman style.
Ibra has been sent off!
It's fair enough actually. How stupid is that?
Yes, the very same team that could have beaten Barcelona if it wasn't for a 90th minute Messi goal. Yup...
Celtic attacked and attacked, they took the onus, it didn't work but I'm not sure what your point is? I don't really have sympathy for Celtic apart from the fact that they had to play against this disgusting set up. It's even worse when you consider Juve are fantastic to watch in the league. Flooding forward and dominating the whole pitch. If juve had come and played their usual game it would of been brilliant.
Football is a cruel game, Celtic dont deserve to be one down nevermind 3. If the ref had a pair he'd awarded a penalty or two.
Juventus defended well and were clinical when they needed to be.
Celtic made defensive errors and were toothless up top.
Nothing undeserved here

Why open up after going ahead within 120 seconds of kick off?
Ibra keeps failing to perform in the knockout stages of the CL
Personally think he was just trying to block the ball? He was stretching and missed IMO
Three minutes added, we have a goal and a sending off in extra time and the ref blows it at 93:00?
Zlatan - why always him?
Zlatan... CL knockouts... does not mix
Yeah Juventus are 3-0 up , Celtic are 3-0 down.
As with Chelsea last year, the word "deserve" doesn't matter. Score and you go through.
It might have been a "disgusting setup", but this setup managed to score the necessary goals to virtually qualify themselves for the next round.
See Pogba's little grin there when he was standing up after being mortally wounded?
