BARCELONA NEWS

Barcelona had even more difficult task against PSG in the previous round. The Parisians celebrated a 4-0 victory in the first leg match, but in Barcelona, hosts defeated them by 6-1 and eliminated them from competition. However, it's hard to expect that Luis Enrique can instrument another glorious comeback - Juventus has a much stronger defense, and Italian teams in general rarely lose this kind of advantage in European competitions. On the other hand, Messi, Suarez, and Neymar will do everything in their power to make the game more enjoyable.

JUVENTUS NEWS

Juventus is in an excellent form at the moment. They have 8 points advantage over second-placed Roma in Serie A, they qualified for the final in Coppa Italia, and they almost eliminated one of the best teams in the 21st century, which defeated them in Champions League final two seasons ago. Juventus will be ultra-defensive in the upcoming match, and it is hard to believe that Barcelona will be able to score 4 goals and not to concede a single one in the next game.

SUMMING UP!

Barcelona will attack from the first minute. It won't be surprising if they manage to keep the ball in their possession in over 70% of the game, but Juventus is a great defensive team, and it would be a sensation if Barcelona succeeds in making a comeback against them.
