Spurs Juventus comfortably pre season. How have Juventus got better players man for man? Have they a better current striker than Kane?

Preseason means sweet FA, Sandy.

Surprised someone as long in the tooth even bothers bringing something like that up. It's Hafi trivia.

I think we're gonna have 5 English sides in the last 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

3 at most. City and Liverpool definites. Utd fairly likely but could lose Vs Sevilla.

Spurs and Chelsea have nightmare draws. Could go either way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah I fancy Spurs against Juve this year.

Chelsea could go either way I agree.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would say that's under-rating Juve.

They have been deep in the CL much more often than Spurs, that nous can be the key in these ties.

To say Spurs are favourites is folly. Juve have better players man for man.

They will be better than Dortmund, 8 games without a win in the league, the manager has been sacked and they couldn't even beat apoel over two games.

Different story to when we first played Dortmund though, a team who lost their first league game in October. Putting past 6 against the likes of Mondegladbach.

Real were equally out of form, their worst for a decade, when you played them.

They will be a different team in Feb.

They weren't in their worst form for a decade. How sensationalist.

So they weren't in their worst form of the decade when they faced us according to the article you linked. The 2nd proving that 08/09 was worse; and the s*n article providing their worst form was after the draw. Not before it. The third being about Ronaldo's goal scoring record.
