Chelsea vs. Juventus (International Soccer): Club Desserts?

[Abishai100]

Chelsea and Juventus have quietly but steadily built solid and rich international soccer programs for their respective leagues (English Premier League and Italian Serie A).

Both clubs have boasted high talents.

Chelsea: Nevin, Makelele, Zola, Cech, Drogba, Osgood, Terry, Lampard
Juventus: Platini, Zidane, Trezeguet, Nedved

Both clubs have offered much revelry and confetti for their leagues and have carried their leagues into the international spotlight in many respects.

That's why this pair of clubs is a perfect 'set' to introduce audiences to the general appeal of soccer.
