Juventus and Barcelona will be lurking horns in this year's UEFA champion league finals in Berlin. No one would have given Juventus a chance to get to this stage in the UCL at the beginning of the season. Today, FC Barcelona would be filing out their 4th finals in the last 10 years, of which they have never lost any of those finals. Juventus would be the underdogs in this finals, but they also have the experiences of some key players to count on who have seen it all at this stage of the competition. Juventus lost their last UCL finals against their league rivals AC Milan.
Battles would be won and lost in some key areas. The defence of Juventus without the services of Giorgio Chiellini would be seriously tested by the best attack in Europe this season (MSN). However, Javier Mascherano and Gerard Pique must also be on top of their games in order to keep predatory duo of Alvaro Morata and Carlos Tevez quiet all through the game. The most interesting position to consider for these battles, is the midfield where the likes of Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta would be seeking to dominate the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Aturu Vidal and the young sensational, Paul Pogba
.
This final is going to be keenly contested and frenetic. One thing is guaranteed, one of the two teams would end up with a treble.
Who would have thought Juventus would be at the finals of the UCL? At first one would doubt, but here they are, playing the underdogs, from the start of the competition.
ReplyDeleteHowever, Juventus would want to prove a point today. But the question is, can magical Messi be silenced?
Let's wait and see
