Tuesday the Champions League promises to be very interesting – in the evening fans will see action in three of the four semi-finalists last year’s tournament, the eyes of the Poles will be on Robert Lewandowski, who in Turin will try to break through the incredible defense of Juventus.
Barcelona, having the chance to become the first team to defend the title of best club in Europe, will play in London with Arsenal skazywanym to be devoured. Londoners, however, does not intend to sell cheap skin.
Iron defensive versus machine Guardiola
The scenario from the previous season, surprised almost all football experts. Juventus faced was among the favorites to win the Champions League, but he managed to reach the final, which finally fell in the match against Barcelona. Great merit was taken by the defense, which stopped next rivals, especially in matches at Anfield – the last time at Juventus Stadium in European football fans viewed the defeat of the “Old Lady” in 2013. A series of 16 games (10 wins and 6 draws) without losing lasts at best.
Fellowship, which three years ago defeated the Italians 2: 0, was just Bayern Munich. If we can repeat that result? Expectations of this team are so great that no matter what class of opponent, the goal is always win.
Juventus started this season sluggishly, explosion mold the team had to wait for weeks. But when Massimiliano Allegri’s players caught the right rhythm, they passed 15 consecutive victories in Serie A. The last goal lost the match against Sampdoria on January 10, a total of 26 league games Gianluigi Buffon was taking the ball out of the net just 15 times. But this is the Champions League and the “Old Lady” will want to draw on the strengths of its pitch to a rematch in Munich to go with even a small advantage.
For those who are eager for goals in Tuesday’s match, it may be not a good omen, but certainly does not lack faith in the fact that Robert Lewandowski will be able to enter on the scoresheet.
Pole Croat shame?
In this meeting there will also be some subtext that can act on the imagination. Polish sniper can stand in front of Mario Mandžukić, who was replaced in the Bavarian team. In summer 2014 years he left Bayern Munich striker, and his T-shirt with “a nine” just took Robert Lewandowski.
Achievements two scorers this season are incomparable – while Mandzukic fell by the wayside (22 matches and 9 goals), Lewandowski fully developed wings (32 games and 32 goals), making it one of the best snipers in the world.
Ronaldo puts Pole in the top three of the best strikers in the world
As for Bayern Mandzukic scored 39 goals in 74 appearances in the years 2012-14. He helped in having won two league titles in Germany, also scored one of the goals in winning the final Champions League in 2013 with Borussia Dortmund (2: 1), the composition of which was, among other things Lewandowski. N e hiding, however, that prematurely left the German team because of coach Pep Guardiola. The Spaniard was not a big believer in talent Croat, and a completely different with Lewandowski, of which says that it is “professional and cooperation with it is a great pleasure.”
At the end of January, the Juventus striker, who previously played in Atletico Madrid, injured legs and seemed to not play in the first leg against Bayern. Croat, however, had a special motivation to make it to the match in Turin and on Saturday, the Italian media reported that resumed training. Coach Massimiliano Allegri is unlikely to issue it in the starting XI, but may appear in the second half as a “joker”.
Chief “rival” for the Polish striker can be ascribed to a greater extent in Dybali Paulo, Argentyńczyku with Polish roots who has recently done in Italy a real sensation.

What matters is victory
Tuesday’s meeting in Turin will also be special for Arturo Vidal and Kingsley Comana, who last summer moved from the “Juve” to Bayern. In “Gazzetta dello Sport” Vidal has already announced that if even the score, it will not go celebrate.
– We know that Bayern is one of the three best teams in the world, but we are playing at home, giving you an extra boost. Each opponent has a weaker hand, and our task is to find them – said the Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli.
If you are on the pitch, Philipp Lahm, it will be his match number 100 in the Champions League. For many years, the Bavarian team player, with a break for representing the colors VfB Stuttgart. With the German players, more games in the Champions League has scored only were outstanding goalkeeper Oliver Kahn of Bayern – 103.
– Thanks to Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri’s team from Turin, has become in recent premier team in Europe. It is true rivals bad season began, but later reached a series of ten victories in a row. My players know how important meeting awaits them, because it counts here only victory. It will definitely be an interesting tie – said Bayern coach Pep Guardiola.

will return nightmares Arsenal?
Arcyciekawie promises to be a confrontation in which Arsenal will take the winner of the previous edition – Barcelona. 10 years ago, these teams met in the final in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis, founding supporters of paramount spectacle and one of those matches that mentions the year.
the break led “Arsenal” after Sol Campbell goal, even though it has played in ten men following a red card for the German keeper Jens Lehman (in the 20th minute was replaced by Manuel Almunia came on for Robert Pires left). In the last quarter hour of triumph Catalans exaggerated Cameroonian Samuel Eto’o and Brazilian Juliano Belletti.
Since then, Barcelona have three times won the Champions League, while Arsenal as successful as in 2006, no longer reached, still unsuccessfully fighting for the championship of England in recent years without reaching Europe’s good results – the last 5 seasons ended Wenger for players already at the 1/16 games.
Now you are in front of the team, which is unbeaten in 32 meetings, every moment manifests its power and wants to go down in history as one of the best teams in history. The trio Messi-Neymar-Suarez is a ruthless rivals, each of these players are considered as a great threat to the defense of their opponents.
The statistics are merciless for Arsenal – offensive trio won the last 32 matches up 75 goals, the entire team of Arsenal is in so many meetings 55 goals.
Direct encounters between these teams is not lacking, but again the mountain were Hispanic – in 2010 in the quarter-finals they won on aggregate 6: 3 (in a rematch win against Arsenal 4: 1 after four goals from Lionel Messi), and a year later a 4: 3 in the 1/8 finals; Londoners played in goal for Wojciech Szczesny. Polish goalkeeper is now at AS Roma, a week before his club lost at home to Real Madrid and the chance to advance to the “eight” is small.
England wants to reverse the bad card
Arsenal can play with a knife at his throat, if it were otherwise, there would emerge from the current competition – in a key match could defeat Bayern Munich, but it seems that at the moment Barcelona is out of range “Gunners”.

His chances have to be sought in a tight defense and the effectiveness of the counter, which will use the speed of their players and Mesut Ozil, who is the best assistant this season in the Premier League. League, which is very media and still it is considered one of the best in the world. The Prestige certainly remains, but it does not go hand in hand with the results.
The recent years have shown that the English teams are in the back, this was further aggravated by the crises in the two big companies, they are Manchester United and Chelsea, as well as reshuffling in close elite – the first two places in the league table deal with Leicester City and Tottenham.
“Lisa” had to defend themselves against the fall, and “Roosters” for several seasons unsuccessfully fought for the top four and the right to play in the Champions League. Surprising scenario may, however, be good potentates – next season on the bench will sit m.i.n Pep Guardiola (Manchester City), is also likely to come to Manchester United Jose Mourinho, Juergen Klopp working on the revolution in Liverpool. Effects however, you will have to wait.
In the Champions League are Chelsea and Manchester City. “The Blues” Although they lost the first meeting with PSG 1: 2, but in the second leg at Stamford Bridge are not without a chance. “Citizens” and on Wednesday they will face Dynamo Kiev will be the challenge the favorite.
Arsenal will stand up to Barcelona? The fans do not have much grounds for optimism to gush, but in football we’ve seen more surprising scenarios. Luis Enrique expects that this match can test treat fans great emotions.
– On paper, this match looks like one of the most attractive and spectacular, you can imagine, but football can surprise. I think we will see a very good game in which both teams will want to dominate. We defend the title and it’s obvious that we’re the favorite, but that does not mean anything. Match after match we have to prove our worth – said the coach “Barça”.
