I had no idea, so have just read the City main page for further details. This is the first ever meeting between a City team v Juventus. Perhaps it can pave the way for a pre-season friendly at Ashton Gate with the first teams! Surely someone on here knows someone in Italy to watch / be involved this game?

Isawjonshaw Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Not sure if I'd want to go to Turin to see City pre-season. They aren't too fond of the English after Heysel! Went there about 12 years ago and got kept in for over 3 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Match day thread, surely, who's going to keep the scores coming through? K.O 11.30. Anyone got a private jet flying over from South Bristol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COME ON YOU REDSSSSSSSS I’m pretty sure that we had a first team friendly against Juventus, many years ago. Before my time and I’ve never heard anything about it, but I’m sure a friend of mine once showed me a programme from the fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are right, I've just checked on Google and City beat Juventus 2-0 in May 1970. I am quite surprised that the main City site got their info wrong. Surely, if you were going to write an article to say it was the first time City were playing Juventus, you'd check this out in advance! Lazy people!

I don't know the Goalkeeper either, I was expect Jo Jo Wollacott or Seysay (who I can't find on our own website BTW?). *edit* I just looked again and Wollacott is actually a month older than Max, they are both 22.

They're u23's players There's a few spelling mistakes on that list as well Just now, JonDolman said: Yep Pearson centre back and there's the winger Pearson who are brothers. Lochlan Robertson is the goalie. Usually on bench I think but seems to have been playing more recently. I think JoJo and Sesay have mainly moved on from 18s football. What a result it is. I can't see how beating Juve at any level can be anything else but a fantastic achievement for us. Having won that tournament last season as well. I'm very excited about what is happening at our club. Beat Monaco in their back yard earlier in the season as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice but would have to think Juve's first team would be beyond us pre-season unless they didn't want a fee for the game. Getting their U23's equivalent over though for a 23's pre season game in Ashton Gate would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Good result for them. I see Britton (or is it Britten) scored again. Wonder if he's one that they will fast track ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Excellent result, and yep, Bristol City marching on through Europe! Strange to think that we beat them 2-0 in 1970 and have now beat them 2-0 today. Who would have thought we would be a bogey team for the Old Lady? 34 minutes ago, Dan Robin said: I hope that City youngsters didn't learn how to cheat and that none of them was kidnapped. Based on this win, Dan, you can spread the word and help build city a big fan base in Italy! Shame we've done our cause no favours by releasing Eros.

Our list is getting ever more impressive - so, the last time we played Liverpool we beat them, the last time we played Chelsea we beat them, the last time we played Man Utd we beat them ... and now the last time we played Juventus we beat them ...
