With the UEFA Champions League final fast approaching, I will discuss what Juventus need to be careful of when they face Barcelona.
1. Living Up to The Underdogs Tag
In my opinion, Juve are the clear underdogs for the game, but it's nothing they should be embracing. Juve need to back themselves, back their team spirit, and do all they can do defeat Barca.
2. Conceding Early
Let's be honest, going down 1-0 to Barca in the first five or 10 minutes could potentially lead to problems!
3. Set Pieces
Barca have scored crucial goals this season from dead-ball situations, with Gerard Pique having scored seven goals already this season. But it's not only that – it's their free-kicks just outside the box that could also cause danger.
4. Getting A Red Card
To stand any chance against the Catalan club, Juve need all of their players on the field. A red card would put them in serious trouble, as it's already known that Barca can keep the ball for long spells of the game.
5. The In-Form 'MSN'
The thing I'd fear most if I were Juve – Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, otherwise known as 'MSN'. They've scored 120 goals together this season, which tells you all you need to know. How they will do it, I'm not sure, but they need to stop these stars.
What do you think Juventus need to be wary of against Barcelona?
