Bayern Monaco or Real. Or Monaco or Porto. How to say hell or paradise for Juve, the path of the Champions League. Tomorrow at 12 in Nyon the only Italian remained in contention in the most prestigious cup will know his next opponent in the second round (round 17-18 and February 24 to 25, return 10-11 and 17-18 March); an hour later it’s up to the Italian quintet – Roma, Napoli, Fiorentina, Inter Milan and Turin (19 and 26 February) -sapere what fate destiny has kept for 16mi of the Europa League, where Inter, Napoli and Fiorentina will be heads series. Italy is the only one of the European federations, to be able to count the totality of their teams in Europe (although Rome was ‘demoted’), with the only Juventus in the competition queen.
And overcome the obstacle of the second round will not be easy, as the Bianconeri were preceded in the group from Atletico Madrid: will not be seeded, will face one of the winning group, with the first leg at the Juventus Stadium . By regulation, Allegri’s men can not find Atletico (can not meet the teams who have been part of the same group, so ‘as two sides of the same country) and thus the risk of drawing a’ big ‘is not just : on all Real Madrid, probably the best European team today. The formation of Carletto Ancelotti has won all six races round and remains on a series record of 20 consecutive wins, all competitions considered.
From chills would also be a match with Barcelona’s Luis Enrique but above trio of Messi, Neymar, Suarez, or even with the irresistible Bayern Monaco of Pep Guardiola in the group stage that has humiliated Roma at the Olimpico. To avoid surely also running at Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho, points leader in the Premier League. More ‘would be a lucky draw with Borussia Dortmund. The finalists of the Champions League in 2013 shine in Europe, but struggling in the Bundesliga (16mi). would welcome also the Port, always fighting with Benfica in the Portuguese league but whose pink and not ‘of the first order when compared to most’ prestigious European clubs. And surely everyone at Juventus are rooting for Monaco, surprisingly the first in the group stage, but ridimensionatosi last season with the departures of Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez.
With the ‘repechage’ of Rome in the Europa League after the group stage of the Champions – which follows that of Naples after the last preliminary round of the competition queen – five Italian teams are still in contention in the knockout phase of the Europa League, a record for a country, writes ‘Uefa.
The winners of the twelve rounds of the Europa League and the four best third of the group stage of Champions form the seedings will play (return home) against one of the sixteen other formations, although – again – with some stakes: you can not face two teams that have already ‘competed in the group stage, prohibited combinations between two teams from the same country, and for geo-political reasons, the Russian and Ukrainian clubs can not be drawn together. Inter, Napoli and Fiorentina, who have won their group, will be seeded. Among the teams to avoid, include the English (Liverpool and Tottenham), the Spanish (Sevilla and Villarreal), as well as’ a lesser extent, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven and Wolfsburg.
Even for logistical issues, as to prohibit a draw with the Ukrainian Dnipro (impossible for Inter), while Celtic is not today a team al’altezza its history. Would be considered a good match with the French Guingamp (not sorteggiabili against Fiorentina), the Turks of Trabzonspor, the Danes dell’Aalborg or Swiss Young Boys (impossible for Napoli). Paradoxically, the risk of drawing a ‘big’ ‘are lower for Turin and Rome, which are not part of the seedings. Among the potential opponents more ‘insidious for Italian, Zenit Villas Boas, Everton, Sporting Lisbon or even the Athletic Bilbao. You can also match with Borussia Moenchengladbach, Olympiakos or Dinamo Kiev. On paper, perhaps more ‘would be easier to deal with Bruges (not feasible for the Torino), Besiktas, Salzburg, Legia Warsaw or Dinamo Moscow.
