Reports are that Allegri is planning to rest Higuain. Makes sense with Barca coming up but I don't actually believe he plays him continuously out of stubbornness. I think he does so because there is nobody else. Madzukic has scored 4 times in 18 matches as the #9. That isn't good enough. I would start an entirely 2nd XI here though even if I thought the players weren't good enough. It's imperative they take a defendable lead to the Nou Camp for the 2nd leg and clearly the best way to do that is to start a fresh XI. We shall see.
@SteveHyland Well, Mandzukic hasn't scored many goals because his job this season has been bullying the defense and track balls down. He is a target man and was never used as one this season, so his poor goal scoring is excusable. I am sure he would do a fine job playing alone at front, and there is no excuse for that not to happen so Higuain can rest.
@DelJuve- Apparently Mandzukic was injured. Not sure where the site I read that Higuain would be rested got their information from. The one I just read mentioned he was never going to be included in the squad for this game. Didn't see read article prior to posting because it is in Italian.
Dybala definitely amazing player
You missed Marchisio's last last interception which happened between 85-90 min, making it 5 and not 4 interceptions.
3-1 win for Juve. Despite the temptation to look ahead to the Barca game, Juve will get the win. Forza Juve!!
