Barcelona Juventus match preview
Juventus knocked out Barcelona on their way to the final in Cardiff last season.
They recorded a 3-0 aggregate victory in the quarter-finals and boss Massimiliano Allegri is keen on another clean sheet – although he admits his side will find it tough.
“We know that playing three games in a row against Barcelona – considering the two of last year – without conceding a goal, would be very difficult, even if Juve could do it.
“Along with Real Madrid they are favourites to win the Champions League.”
Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde said: “We are ready to face an exciting competition and to start with a win means a lot in such a short league.
“Juventus are a powerful team that distribute the ball well from the back and who try to press high.
“They have a great coach and great players, all of whom must be taken into account, not just [Argentina forward] Paulo Dybala.”
