Juventus constantly preferred Italian players: Buffon, Cannavaro, Del Piero, Chiellini, as well as many others won the club victory in the European Cup. For Today, Juventus for the first time in the event entered the game in the Champions League as a whole with one Italian in the squad - Leonardo Bonucci. Of course, the same as Chiellini dropped out due to an injury, the Welshman Ramsey, the Argentinean Dybala, and also the Uruguayan Bentancourt replaced. Of the unoccupied substitutions from the Italians — Buffon, as well as Bernardeschi.
- The most interesting thing is that with the goal of the top of the top teams this trend is that in large clubs, without exception, there are fewer players from their own country.
Of course, the situation of Juventus not unique: real Madrid and PSG are also released under part 1 of the local player. However, there is a team that generally has not released a 1st home player. Suddenly that "Galatasaray" – the basis existed, the Brazilians, the French, the Congolese, but also including Japanese, however, neither the 1st Turk. The situation was saved by Emre Mor, released on substitution in the 60th minute. The international team Galatasaray got a draw away is not bad in Brugge (we pulled and can not poyumorilo relative to the bedding to the bottom). - Funny, however, about the "real" on the basis there was more French than the "PSG" – three against one. However, at PSG there was more Spanish than the basics of the Madrid directions – two against one (also once Herrera came on as a substitute).
- The most Patriotic team of the 1st round of the UEFA Champions League Slavia: based on 8 Czechs for the promotion of the match left 9. Guest nicena against inter – reward!
- Even edinstvennoe unusual circumstance: directly the "international" (literally translated as "international") is the most Patriotic of the Italian sports club, and less international. Conte was released in region 4 Italians, shift down two more. The only thing with them Nicolo of Barella – equalized the score in the final minute.
- Chelsea and Valencia out of three of the Spaniard (not going to be considered for the Spaniard Cheryshev, though around him there is also a 2nd nationality), but then Frank Lampard released Pedro 4:3 in favor of English on the part of the Spaniards on the field. However, the players of "Valencia" there was more successful: assisted Parejo, Rodrigo hammer.
- The most fervent application – "Shakhtar". Here Ukrainians (seven, given what was happening in shift) constantly get along with the Brazilians (5 people). But looking to the Manor to Solomon of Israel, likely, lonely.
One match, in which about two teams fifty percent of the players existed of "home" nationality - the game "Bayer", as well as "Locomotive". In the course of the meeting, Bayer also included 7 Germans on the field, but Yuri Semin at one point released formally a Nigirian, but still Russian Brian Idov in return for João Mariou.
