Europa League: Benfica - Juventus

[Fever]

It really depends on what you want. For the most traditional short/urban holidays yes.

UEFA released a report today that showed which clubs have more fans inside their country.
Benfica is first with 47% of portuguese people being Benfica fans. Second is Steaua and third is Galatasaray.

Juventus should be about 5th (which is really impressive given the dimension of your country) with 31%.

Until now only portuguese newspapers reported this but there should be an UEFA link soon.

Porto team sucks a lot, they don't have any creative mids, the full backs except for Mangala are horrible , the only player that creates some danger is Quaresma.. i dunno how they managed to win against Napoli.

Juventus is another level.

Of Juve is another level... You're right, we don't have a chance.

Jokes aside, I repeat: There is a real and concrete possibility that  we  shitting in our pants in your stadium.
if we lose our head, we really run the risk of going out of Portugal with a basket full of goals.
That said, I think it will be a semifinal worthy of a champion league semi-final.

and, seriously, who passes this round, then won the Cup.
allowing fate (given the past of the two teams). 

I don't think so, I don't see Juventus shitting on underwear.

Jokes apart, if never strange happens, it will be hard for both teams.

Whoever passes will win the cup.

Obviously, Lisbon is at the top of the list. It's our capital city, it has lots of history and a vibrant social life.

However, the island of Madeira is justly called "the Pearl of the Atlantic." If you can visit it, Juventino, do so.

[JUVENTINO]

Rude awakening this morning .

It seems that between Antonio Conte and Juventus there are no agreements for the renewal of the contract.
While Juventus is pressing Conte for renewal, the rush for Conte, does not exist.
Conte would like to sit at the negotiating table with mathematically won the Scudetto and maybe postpone the meeting after an eventual victory in Europe.
Thus, the Juve coach would have more bargaining power and may require additional reinforcement .
Conte, seems to have many doubts about the future performance of the italian players   committed itself with the world cup .
Many of them are "old " and physically destroyed as might come from Brazil.
On Conte  it would be affecting the PSG  .
The PSG is not happy with the current coach and would like a coach, as Conte , so that he can gain respect in a locker room chock full of football stars .
conte like this solution , because the PSG team there are in 10/11 players who speak Italian .
Juve meanwhile tip heavily on Klopp who is about to conclude his experience with Borussida Dortmund.

Noooooo .... I want a lifetime as Juventus coach Antonio Conte.

Everyone wants Klopp, it seems. First Barça, now Juve.

Even if Conte ends up leaving you, I'm sure you'll be fine in the long term. Nothing lasts forever. Guys like Buffon and Pirlo will have to retire someday as well.

Of course, nothing lasts forever.
But, now losing a coach who was able with little means to win two (three) championships would be crazy.
I do not think the barcellona can take Klopp ... the Spanish team should change play mode than in the past

Yea, Conte has been doing a good job at Juventus.

I'd like to see Klopp at a team other than Dortmund. I think he'd do well in Juventus and Serie A. Plus, he's pretty energetic like Conte, so I bet Juve fans and the media there would love him.

[Godescalco]

Klopp would be a fantastic signing for pretty much any major club right now.

Yes, he's that good.

I'd personally like to see him managing Arsenal.. or Benfica. But it's unlikely he'd come here in the near future.

What?

Galatasaray does not have that % of fans in turkey.

[Fever]

... Again?
Every poll in Turkey puts both Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe between 30% and 45%.

The latest one gave them even more than that: 42%.
