Hello my friends. It’s Wednesday morning and Champions League day for Juventus. Here are the front pages from Italy main Sports newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tutto Sport from Wednesday 18 March 2015. How are you?

I hope you are having a great day.  I am getting ready to watch and support Juventus in the Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund.   Headlines today are encouraging Juventus to win this game to pass to the next round.  Surely, I agree this is the turning point for Juventus to shine not only in the Serie A, but also in the Champions.   Coach Massimiliano Allegri putting his hope on midfielder Paul Pogba and you bet on forward Carlos Tevez too.

Talking about tension, oh my gosh, the headlines on the future of AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi seeming more like “to be out” than “to be in.”  Yep, reportedly, if Milan lose against Cagliari, than, hello… you better be ready to help Inzaghi pack his suitcase….    Let’s put it this way, do you think Inzaghi should still remain even if losing?     A similar headline is for Roma coach Rudi Garcia … future depending on qualification to the next round of the Europa League?  Oh well….  Roma will have to defeat Fiorentina….
