Juve will have to play for a win, Sevilla is no pushovers and that's where they have to go away for their last group game which if they fail to win against us could be a straight shootout between the two for qualification or Europa so this being their last home game of the CL campaign is kind of a must win for them ... which could very well play in our hands ...

I'd be looking for players reaction on the pitch as well after drawing against Villa before the stupid international break and then what happened on Saturday at home ... this is the first time we have fallen out of top two positions in the table (PL) so hope players are as hurt and seething as us fans and we see a real positive reaction ... one of Juve's player has already said it openly that after what happened in Liverpool game, this might not be a good time to face City.

I seem to remember West Ham's manager saying the same thing after Juve had beaten us - and we know what happened in that game!

A point is enough to qualify Juve, so it's not really a must-win match. And, to be honest, I'm not convinced Seville will win themselves, given the form Gladbach are in.

Qualification is still not certain. Seville can win the next two and pip Juventus on head-to-head.
I just wish I don't see Yaya in a midfield 2 and Demichelles in the team.

Are we going all out this season to win CL as a priority, I wonder whether that is the message from the Kingdom.

I don't think winning it is the expectation. The immediate priority is to be seen as a serious contender, a club that regularly at least reaches QF's or SF's. At the moment we have the reputation of a club that doesn't always make it out of the group stages, if it does its in 2nd place and then is immediately eliminated in the knock out stages. There may be mitigating circumstances for that ie bad draws, but it still makes it more difficult for the club to market itself in the US, Asia etc
