Sports / Re: Real Madrid Vs Juventus: Fact You Must Know by thegreatest700(m): 1:41pm On Jun 03, 2017

There is nothing to choose between Juventus and Real Madrid before they meet in the 2017 UEFA Champions League final in Cardiff on Saturday, June 3. Historically, each team has inflicted costly defeats on the other in some of Europe's premier club competitions.
In fact, as UEFA's official website has detailed, "both clubs have eight wins and two draws, with Juve scoring 21 goals to Madrid's 18." Each side is also in similarly strong recent form, having won their last three matches, per Sky Sports, and finished the season as champions of their respective domestic leagues.
This is the 19th meeting between these powers of the European game.
Interestingly, games in the Champions League era have fallen into two distinct categories. Notably, Juventus have won in the earlier rounds, with two semi-final wins and a quarter-final victory, while Real were victorious the last time these two met in a final.
The latter win came at the end of the 1997/98 season when a lone Predrag Mijatovic goal made Los Blancos European champions for the first time in 32 years. This was a Real squad loaded with star names, but struggling domestically on then-manager Jupp Heynckes' watch.
Even so, Raul, Roberto Carlos, Fernando Morientes, Davor Suker and Clarence Seedorf delivered when it mattered against Zinedine Zidane, Fabrizio Ravanelli and Alessandro Del Piero. By contrast, Juve were a powerhouse domestically but still lost two out of three finals in the mid-'90s, with a win on penalties over Ajax and a 3-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund coming before defeat to Los Merengues.
The Bianconeri gained a measure of revenge in 2003 when they destroyed holders Real in the semi-final, inspired by the brilliance of Pavel Nedved. Sadly, Juve lost that year's final on penalties to Serie A rivals AC Milan.
There's a similar parity in talent in the respective midfields, where Real are led expertly by pass-master Luka Modric, schemer Toni Kroos and holding player Casemiro. Juve can match this balance thanks to the flair and vision of maestro Miralem Pjanic, along with the brawn and muscle of another former Real player, Sami Khedira.
The history, form guide and talent levels reflect the even nature of this final. Juve's superior defensive nous could give them the edge, but nobody can match Ronaldo's knack for goals when it matters in this tournament.

is this what they refrer to as FTC..... Juve to win 3-2. I haven't even read the thread sef...

While as a lecturer in the University of Lagos, Awojobi successfully converted his own family car, an Opel Olympia Rekord, from right-hand drive to a left-hand drive.

He tinkered further with motor engines when he acquired an army-type jeep and proceeded to invent a second steering-wheel mechanism, adjoined to the pre-existing engine at the rear end, so that the vehicle was able to move in both forward and backward directions with all four pre-existing gears. This gave the hybrid vehicle, which he christened Autonov 1, the ability to achieve its highest speeds at a moment's notice, in the normal reverse direction. He highlighted the advantage this might offer to army vehicles, as an example, that might need to make a fast retreat, in a cul-de-sac or ambush situation.

Ayodele Awojobi died in the morning of Sunday, 23 September 1984, at the age of 47. His death made headline news in most of the national newspapers for days following and he was laid to rest at Ikorodu Cemetery, Lagos. He was survived by his wife, Mrs Iyabode Mabel Awojobi (née Odetunde), and children.
