From Liverpool to Juventus, many teams need a UCL miracle
4. Juventus
Finally, we head into the last big team in the Champions League with Juventus. There’s not much to say about this team other than they dominated this tournament so far, finishing first in Group D with 16 points, as a result of five wins and one tie. Their first loss came just last game against Lyon 1-0.
The team has been dominating other clubs throughout the season. Right now, they lead Serie A, just one point ahead of Lazio, but still first place.

Also, it’s important to show that ‘La Vecchia Signora’ and Lyon have faced four times in major European tournaments.
History is on Juventus’ side as they won three times and tied just once. The last game was the first victory of the French club.
It would be a hard task for Lyon to maintain the advantage, especially when the other team has Cristiano Ronaldo on their side. It’s going to be interesting how Juventus comeback in front of their people, or if the once called ‘Giant Slayer’ can pull one more surprise.
I’m not saying that the other four games aren’t as interesting as the ones mentioned, but Bayern Munich destroyed Chelsea in England 3-0, Atalanta-Valencia, is just not that eye-catching, Leipzig-Tottenham can go either way, and PSG-Borussia Dortmund has been overshadowed by the other games.
How do you think the results will go for these four teams?
