No major sports celebrations are planned in advance for the quarter-finals of the Champions League between Villarreal and Juventus.
Probably it is only because the reputation of the people of Turin is much tougher at the moment Massimiliano Allegrin Bianconeri Group’s financial condition.
Of the seven Serie A matches played this year, the Old Lady has only been able to win two.
And it’s no wonder they’re on the sidelines from Tuesday’s Europel as well Federico Chiesa, Giorgio Chiellini and Daniele Rugani.
In addition Leonardo Bonuccin, Paulo Dybalan, Luca Pellegrininand Federico Bernardeschin gaming is uncertain.
Juventus’ injury injury evenly balances the balance of power, and no one should underestimate the Villarreal pilot Unai Emeryn tactical creativity in two-part Euro matches.
In particular, the line of defense, which consists of Juve’s deputies, must be vigilant Samuel Chukwuezen and Arnaut Danjuman with.
Ace up the sleeve
However, Allegr has one ace up his sleeve. He will give his Champions League debut to one of Europe’s most spectacular football entrants.
Arrived in January transfer window Dusan Vlahovic literally speaks with enthusiasm as he gets to show off his goal-making skills to the highest possible level.
The 22-year-old Serb is even considered by many to be Erling Haalandin an equal power striker whose stats for the last two seasons of Serie A (61 matches and 39 goals) don’t pale alongside anyone.
On Tuesday, Vlahovic wants to start repaying the transfer amount of as much as 70 million euros invested in him.
In January, Juventus strengthened not only Vlahovic but also a playmaker Denis Zakarialla. The Swiss are expected to dominate midfield on Tuesday in El Madrigal.
A lot depends on Dybala’s possible playing condition. The Argentine brings a drastic increase in attacking power to the away team, and Allegri misses that.
The story continues after the picture.

Juventus lost his teeth in the summer when Cristiano Ronaldo decided to return “home” to Manchester. The team has scored only 38 goals in 26 league matches, which is why supporters are hoping for a similar shout from Vlahovic.
Serb hit their Juve debut against Verona, but since then the last three matches have gone with binoculars.
– He played in his previous club once a week, and now there are matches every three days. This is part of Dusan’s development, Allegri underestimated.
– He just has to get used to this.
Tasuri target
Saapasmaa’s hopes now rest exclusively on the neck of the Turin club. Inter lost their first innings in San Siro 0-2 to Liverpool last week, and no one expects the pair to turn on Anfield Road again.
However, Allegri has not made Old Lady play with the same intensity and confidence as in her previous coaching session. That’s when Juventus even reached the Champions League final twice.
It would be a surprise even now.
Allegri knows his favorite position in these match pairs doesn’t guarantee anything, especially when you remember that Juventus has dropped out of the Champions League in just this same quarter-finals in the previous two seasons.
– This is not an easy route to the semi-finals. We have a 50 percent chance because Villarreal specializes in playing just against top teams. They have an excellent coach, Allegri praised Arsenal and Emery, who also coached PSG.
– A draw in Spain would be an excellent result.
