Juventus vs Barcelona 06-06-2015 Champions League final

Juventus vs Barcelona
Competition: UEFA Champions League Final
Match date: 6 June 2015
Kick Off Time: 19:45 BST
Venue: Olympiastadion Berlin 

Barcelona and Juventus will lock horns at the Olympiastadion in Berlin to contest the 60th final of the Champions League. Both side are trying to complete a fantastic treble.

Juventus has topped Serie A for the fourth successive year, boasting the best attack and the strongest defence in the league. They were too dominant domestically and finished the league 17 points ahead Roma.  In Champions League, Juventus knocked out defending champions Real Madrid, winning 2-1 in Turin, then holding Los Blancos to a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu. In the previous rounds, they easily eliminated Dortmund while the clash against Monaco was more levelled.

Key defender Giorgio Chiellini, will miss the match and the reunion with Suarez after the Uruguayan bit him at last year's World Cup. Coach Massimiliano Allegri is already without Martin Caceres but might be able to call upon Andrea Barzagli. Fernando Llorente netted in the 2-2 draw with Verona at the weekend, but he is unlikely to feature from the start, with Alvaro Morata and Carlos Tevez leading the Juv offensive.

Barcelona have been the best club side in the world in 2015, losing only two matches: against Real Sociedad after te Christmas break and a 1-0 loss to Malaga in an upset at the Camp Nou. They finished La Liga as champions, two points clear of Real Madrid. In Champions League, the Blaugrana knocked Bayern Munich out in the semis and gained revenge for their 2013 7-0 aggregate scoreline. They cruised through to the final 5-3 on aggregate thanks to a 3-0 win away in Germany and a 2-3 defeat at home.
Manager Enrique will probably name the same XI that started both legs of the semi-final against Bayern Munich and so Marc-Andre ter Stegen retain his place in goal at the expense of Claudio Bravo. Xavi is expected to be benched while Dani Alves could play his last game for the club amidst reports he has agreed a move to Man UTD. Of course, Messi, Neymar and Suarez will lead the offensive line.

Lionel Messi, Suarez and Neymar have netted 120 times between them this season while their defense have conceded just 21 goals in 38 league games. Barcelona have scored at least 2 goals in 10 of their last 11 matches in the Champions League but Juventus are undefeated in their last 9 matches in the competition.
