It was really an hard match but also lucky for Juve. I'm proud of them, 'cos they fight in 10 untill the end, and Zalayeta scored in the only one shoot of extra time.
Buffon made a great save on Kluivert.
Barça deserved to go in semifinals too, yesterday i was happy but a little bit sad for you... I prefered to see Barç-Juve in the grandfinal.

I give many chance to Manchester. Old Trafford will be incandescent, if United plays as they did against Juve in Turin, will be really a hard defensive match for Real Madrid.
I think it will be a spectacular match.

Honestly, I'd prefer to meet Real Madrid, it would be really a prestigious match.
Another reason is that tactic of play who Manchester use is more dangerous for Juve, imo 'cos red devils are faster than us. Real Madrid has incredible champions, but the compact defense of Juve can oppose them well, while Manchester is too fast for us, imo.
Then I hope we'll have Trezeguet ready for play. In the first match we'll play without Davids, Montero and Tacchinardi.
We'll see...
btw: I'm really sorry for Barça (you know i like this team, and for you), so yesterday I wasn't totally happy at 100% I'd be happy at 100% or 110% if we will beat Real Madrid or Manchester U. in the next match ;)

Hey boy!!!! Real Madrid strong as an ox! Manchester weak as a kitten. Where now for Beckham? Ronaldo look fat but he play like angel with webbed feet. 3 out of 4 Italy in semi? What happens? Where Italy strive from? Although Madrid strong contenders I consider Milan may be triumphant at end. Which one? I can keep a secret.

Hey! ryan giggs go bald before Manchester reach final again! Your horse faced forwards are no competition for the might of Madrid! Bow down to the real deal. Although i think Italy are turning the knot on this competition. Gattuso is a giant amongst midgets! I favour AC Milan to be triumphant in final and Alex Ferguson will be guzzling whisky again.

although i'm a fan of Real Madrid, and they are an exciting team to watch... i've always prefered Serie A to the other leagues... and hope that one of the italian teams will win (Juve!), but i have to say, with a lineup like Real has... there's really no reason why they shouldn't be able to beat any other team on the planet (including all national teams)

great football yesterday! i'm really happy who Juve will meet Real Madrid, it will an exciting match! Zidane will meet Juve again.
For beat this Real Madrid, we need the best Juve of 2003 with all best players on the field (as Trezeguet, Del Piero, Nedved, Thuram, etc...) Unfortunately Davids and Montero will miss first match at Bernabeu.

Real has best quality player on the field, but Juve is a solid team, with a strong defense and good sudden counter attacks, with Zambrotta, Nedved, Camoranesi. Anyway Juve will need best Del Piero and Trezeguet (Treze-goal)
I think we will see best attack of this champion's league against best defense.

2003 is the year of Milano city with an incredible derby in semifinals.
Milan play better than Inter (who will miss Vieri too), but I'm not sure about final result... Inter is lucky and hard to lose so they have a lot of chance, imo.
Real Madrid - Juventus Milan - Inter

well juve knew how to play their chances, and they did really good... I think lippi knew that barça would go crazy to get a goal so he took of del piero and put tudor... then it was a matter of time and skill to take advantage of any mistake barcelona could make (very intelligent, as it was thir only chance with one player less)
but in milan´s case I think it was just random luck

Lippi used a risky tactic against Barça in Nou Camp. If the shoot of Kluivert at the end was goal, now we'd speak about Spanish derby Barça-Real Madrid.
Often, in football episodes decide the matches and future of team.
Milan was lucky yesterday, Inzaghi and Sheva always scored after lucky rebounds.
(Honestly I hoped Ajax passed to semifinals, 'cos i prefered to view Real-Juve and Ajax-Inter, and then grandfinal Juve-Ajax. If Juve will win against Real, they will play against another Italian team and I don't like it :-/ )

1)
Ronaldo celebrates his first goal of the night A high-class hat-trick by Ronaldo ensured a fourth successive UEFA Champions League semi-final for Real Madrid CF after a memorable night of football. If next month's final, at the same stadium, matches the quality displayed tonight by two of the world's most famous clubs then we have much to look forward to.
Beckham out, McManaman in Both coaches sprang major surprises in their team selection, Sir Alex Ferguson leaving England captain David Beckham on the bench and Vicente del Bosque picking Beckham's erstwhile international team-mate, Steve McManaman, in midfield.
Van Nistelrooij chance With a full house to roar them on come what may, United began in determined fashion with Juan Sebastián Verón, back after a six-week lay-off, looking to pull the strings in midfield. But the first chance fell, almost inevitably, to Ruud van Nistelrooij. The leading scorer in this season's competition cut inside Michel Salgado before unleashing a fierce drive from a tight angle which Iker Casillas did well to tip over.
Ronaldo on target Madrid seemed happy to soak up the early pressure but their passing was crisp and precise, and when Guti, playing in a surprisingly withdrawn role, picked out Ronaldo in the inside-right channel, United were exposed. The Brazilian took full advantage, slipping past Rio Ferdinand before driving right-footed past Fabien Barthez at the near post.
Barthez to the rescue United, as is their custom, refused to be demoralised and continued to press with Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Ryan Giggs becoming more and more prominent in support of Van Nistelrooij. But Madrid almost caught them out again when Luis Figo's mis-hit shot had to be turned over the bar by Barthez.

2)
Scores level As the half wore on United warmed to their task. Solskjær was centimetres away from turning in a low cross from Van Nistelrooij, Giggs flashed a shot just wide and Solskjær, again, drove straight at Casillas. Finally they broke through two minutes before the break, Giggs finding Solskjær on the right and Van Nistelrooij converting the cross from close range.
Casillas alert United were suddenly in the ascendancy and might have taken the lead in first-half injury time when first Solskjær and then Van Nistelrooij were denied by the alertness of Casillas. However, a bad miss from McManaman served as a reminder of how much United still had to do.
Brazilian connection It took Madrid just five minutes of the second half to take the lead on the night. Luis Figo had hit the bar after mesmerising the United defence, who were unable to clear the danger and eventually Ronaldo was on hand to turn home a pass from Roberto Carlos.
Hat-trick complete United hit back straight away, Iván Helguera diverting a Verón shot into his own net, and Casillas then saved outstandingly from Solskjær and Verón before Ronaldo applied the coup de grâce for Madrid. Fed by Figo and twisting and turning his way towards goal, he unleashed a ferocious shot from the edge of the area that flew past Barthez.
Breathless finish There was still a trademark free-kick and another more scrambled effort from substitute Beckham that gave United victory on the night, but the plaudits belonged to Madrid and Ronaldo, who left to a standing ovation from Madrid and United fans alike.
