UEFA Champions League Final Starting XI: FC Barcelona v Juventus 06 June 2015

UEFA Champions League Final

Teams: FC Barcelona v Juventus

Date: 06 June 2015

Venue: Olympiastadion

FC Barcelona and Juventus will battle it out in the UEFA Champions League final at the Olympiastadion on Saturday evening.

The match is scheduled to get underway at 20h45.

Barcelona's only injury concern is midfielder, Andres Iniesta, who picked up an hamstring injury in the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao.

Luis Enrique's side will be looking to clinch the club's second treble, having already won the La Liga title and the Spanish Cup.

Juventus, meanwhile, have already been dealt a big blow, with central defender Giorgio Chiellini being ruled out of the final with a calf strain, while his replacement Andrea Barzagli is struggling with a thigh injury but should be fit.

Massimiliano Allegri's charges are also on course to clinch the treble, having secured their four straight Serie A title and defeated Lazio 2-1 in the Coppa Italia final.

These two sides have met on seven occasions, with the last meeting coming in 2003, where Juventus secured a 3-2 aggregate win over the Spaniards.

Barcelona last reached the final in 2011 when they defeated Manchester United 3-1 at Wembley Stadium to secure their fourth Champions League crown.

While, Juventus last reached the final in 2003 but ended up on the losing side, going down in penalties to AC Milan at Old Trafford, after it ended goalless after 120 minutes.
