For those who believe in fate, the similarities between the 2006 World Cup won by Italy and the Champions League final that Juventus want to blow Barcelona start to get very many. It was started with the same venue, the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, to continue the analogy of the eighth, the ‘transition’ from Dortmund, a city where Italy nine years ago had defeated Germany. And where in this spring has sprung Juventus beautiful in Europe, overwhelming the Borussia. And now they have added the assignment to the Juventus team of the same bench occupied by the blue of Lippi, one to the left of the applause of the crowds, and the Juventus supporters in the same industry, the west, where they celebrated the Italian fans. Juventus therefore continues in the footsteps of Italy world champion. In 2006 there were 24 who the Blues had not won the world title, the wait for the Bianconeri’s Champions lasts for 19 years, Rome ’96, success sull’Ajax after the penalty shootout.
It will not be the ‘clasico’ Real-Barca’s ‘all-star’ that many were predicting and many wanted to enjoy the final stage of the European Union, but also Juventus-Barcelona is loaded with great charm. Just a few months ago he could have been a David and Goliath confrontation then the growth of Juventus has changed the outlook. The final in Berlin will be televised in 200 countries and will be seen by 400 million viewers, with an average of 180 million in vision, making it the most popular event of the year on TV. Among the 70,000 Olympiastadion lucky there will be over 2,500 accredited for TV, radio, newspapers and various media: 1,800 sent by TV networks, 500 print journalists, including 200 photographers and technicians. An army of 480 people – excluding commercial activities – will be to work on behalf of UEFA and the local organization in the stadium which has a capacity of 70,500 seats. The fans of Barcelona and Juventus have had access to almost 20,000 tickets each, another 6,000 were offered for sale directly on the website Uefa.com. Berlin on the descent of the fans start since Thursday, but the bulk of supporters is expected on Friday and Saturday morning, a few hours before the game. Hundreds coaches from Italy, dozens of special flights from the two countries. Juventus veterans of 2006 are three: Buffon, Pirlo and Barzagli. “I’m curious to see if the emotions are the same – says the goalkeeper – I do not think there will be differences …”. Pirlo will be the fourth final of the Champions League, first with Juventus after the three Rossoneri, but the combination easier for him is the Berlin of 9 years ago: “The memory of that night – says the midfielder – remains indelible. A beautiful night, a great joy, which we hope to revive with Juventus next Saturday. ” The Olympiastadion is no longer a dream: “I’m lucky – says Massimiliano Allegri – power to prepare a final like this, at that stage, it is both fun and rewarding.”
