Did anyone expect us to win the CL? Like, really?
We lost to Juve who reached the final a couple times in the last 3 years and are wily Italian champions.
That team/manager is no joke.
I don't see this game as being something that should break the spirit of the fans if we don't win, just because Juve knocked us out.
Saying that, we have more than enough to gain a solid win here and I expect our players to deliver a strong performance, be professional and re-concentrate their efforts.
These players have suffered disappointments enough to know that you get back on the horse, immediately, and gallop on to your next goal.
That's the main thing I'm looking for - attitude.
We need to mature in this respect when big things don't go our way.
Fans too.
