Messi in azione.

Ora ci vorrebbe l'1-1.

Fallaccio di Pogba che inciampa ma becca il giallo.

Marchisio non ci arriva di poco.

Il turco é sospetto. Amico di Blatter?

Evra libera di testa su ... Neymar.

Anche a me piacerebbe Pereyra in campo.

Non sono imbattibili. Crediamoci.

Ci dobbiamo svegliare ora.

Grande Gigi!

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Marotta: 'Juve not here for a cameo' Jun 6, 2015 Juventus director Beppe Marotta warned they are “not here for a cameo, but to win” against Barcelona. The Champions League Final kicks off in Berlin at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT). Follow and join in with our LIVEBLOG. “Andrea Barzagli is in excellent condition and can show all his quality,” Marotta told Sky Sport Italia. “Of course this is a very satisfying and emotional moment, especially for those like me who are experiencing it for the first time. “However, we are here not for a cameo, but to play our game and win. We achieved an extraordinary and perhaps unexpected target from where we started five years ago, but it is the right reward for the hard work of the directors, players and staff. “We are in the Final, it is a one-off game and anything could happen. If things go our way, we can get the advantage.”

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Elkann: 'Barca have an off day' Jun 6, 2015 Juventus patron Lapo Elkann hopes Barcelona’s superstars can “have an off day” and revenge on Luis Suarez. “This Juventus team earned the Champions League Final and never gave up, keeping the bit between their teeth when needed,” Elkann told Sky Sport Italia. “The great thing about this team is that, unlike others, it gives hope not just because it wins, but also with carefully balanced books building a squad of great value. “Just think of Paul Pogba, Gigi Buffon and the many stars in this side.” Elkann – an heir to the Agnelli family – admitted he’s more of a fan than a Board member tonight. “Of course we are afraid of Suarez, Neymar and Messi, but everyone can have an off day… “Hopefully what Suarez did to Chiellini, the Juventus squad can do to him.” Chiellini is out injured, but was famously bitten on the shoulder by Suarez during an Italy v Uruguay World Cup game last year.

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Line-ups: Juventus-Barcelona Jun 6, 2015 Juventus start Andrea Barzagli, Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata against Leo Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez in the Champions League Final. It kicks off at 20.45 CET. This is the Bianconeri’s first Final since 2003, but it is also a return to the Olympiastadion in Berlin, where Italy won the World Cup in 2006. Juve – whose stars Gigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo and Barzagli were there that day – are in the same locker room they used with the Azzurri to defeat France. Giorgio Chiellini is injured, so Barzagli makes his comeback alongside Leo Bonucci, but has rarely been used in a back four. Patrice Evra gets his reunion with Suarez after the controversy of October 2011, when the then-Liverpool striker received an eight-match ban for racist insults. Morata gets the nod alongside Tevez, with Arturo Vidal sitting in the hole between attack and midfield. Barcelona have a fully fit squad, as Andres Iniesta has recovered from a mild injury scare at the weekend to start. All eyes are on the front three of Messi, Neymar and Suarez, who between them have over 120 goals this season. This will be Xavi’s last appearance in a Barca shirt before he moves to Qatari club Al Sadd, but is on the bench. Some statistics do not look favourably on Juve, who are the underdogs in this clash. They have lost their last three Champions League Finals, not lifting the trophy since 1996, while Barcelona won all of their last three. The most recent defeat for the Azulgrana was 4-0 to Milan in 1994, when once again there was a Spanish Dream Team that everyone expected to win. However, Barcelona have beaten Juve only twice in eight attempts, drawing two and losing four. In the modern Champions League, that record is one draw and one loss. Juventus: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Evra; Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio; Vidal; Tevez, Morata Juventus bench: Storari, Ogbonna, Padoin, Sturaro, Pereyra, Coman, Llorente Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Dani Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Jordi Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suarez, Neymar Barcelona bench: Bravo, Bartra, Adriano, Mathieu, Xavi Hernandez, Rafinha, Pedro Rodriguez

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Zanetti: Juventus Captain Buffon Is The Main Man In Champions League Final Jun 6, 2015 Serie A legend Javier Zanetti believes goalkeeping Veteran Gianluigi Buffon will be the deciding factor in the Champions League final clash between Juventus and Barcelona. The Argentine lifted the trophy for the competition back in 2010 with Inter and is now confident that his once fierce rival, Juventus, will manage to overcome the odds and conquer Spanish giants Barcelona in Berlin, tipping the 37-year-old in-between the sticks to be the main man. “Juve can definitely hurt Barca,” he said in an interview to Sportsmediaset. “The Champions League is such an important occasion and I know that Buffon will be the one who will keep them [Juventus] in the game.” Despite all of the success Buffon has captured in his career, the Italian has never managed to win the Champions League, coming ever so close after losing in the all-Italian final on penalties to AC Milan in 2003.

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Juventus vs. Barcelona 2015: Lineups confirmed for UEFA Champions League Final Jun 6, 2015 Just as anticipated in the hours leading up to kickoff, both Juventus manager Max Allegri and his counterpart on the Barcelona sideline, Luis Enrique, have gone with the starting lineups everybody thought they would. Neither manager had reason to go against the grain and shake things up. The only major shake-up came days ago when Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini had to leave training early with a calf injury that is keeping him out of tonight's final. Other than that, Allegri's starting lineup and 4-3-1-2 formation is as expected as it could be. Gigi Buffon will start in goal and captain the four-time defending Italian champions. Leonardo Bonucci will partner with Andrea Barzagli instead of Chiellini. Patrice Evra will be the left fullback, Stephan Lichtsteiner is on the right. Juventus' four midfielders will be the four we all thought would start — Claudio Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba with Arturo Vidal starting behind strikers Álvaro Morata and Carlos Tévez. Like I said, predictable. But that's because everybody not named Chiellini who was expected to be here is. The only thing left to find out is what Allegri's actual game tactics will look like because the lineup was a piece of cake. Luis Enrique will be lead by the record-setting trident of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar up front. Between them, 120 goals — yeah, that's no exaggeration — have been scored as Barcelona storms through opponent after opponent. The 4-3-3 is no surprise, neither are the players in both the midfield and defense. Young German Marc-André ter Stegen gets the start he does as is customary in the Champions League for Barcelona, which also sets up an interesting old-school new-school matchup in the two goals between him and Buffon. (Sorry, kid, but I'll take Superman.) Obviously Allegri and Juventus don't want to be the next stop for the Barcelona Express and its South American conductors. The challenge is a big one, with more than just MSN to try and slow down. The starting lineups for both teams are as follows: Juventus XI (4-3-1-2): Gianluigi Buffon; Stephan Lichtsteiner, Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, Patrice Evra; Claudo Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba; Arturo Vidal, Carlos Tévez, Álvaro Morata Juventus bench: Marco Storari, Angelo Ogbonna, Simone Padoin, Stefano Sturaro, Roberto Pereyra, Kingsley Coman, Fernando Llorente Barcelona XI (4-3-3): Marc-André ter Stegen; Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba; Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta; Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar Barcelona bench: Claudio Bravo, Marc Bartra, Jérémy Mathieu, Adriano Correia, Xavi Hernández, Rafinha Alcântara, Pedro Rodríguez

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Legendary Juventus Defender Offers Advice On How To Mark Barcelona’s Messi Jun 6, 2015 Legendary Juventus defender Claudio Gentile has offered advice on how to mark Lionel Messi ahead of the Champions League final against Barcelona. Renowned as one of the toughest and uncompromising defenders in football during the 1970s and 1980s, the six-time Scudetto winner memorably marked Diego Maradona out a match during the 1982 World Cup. “What would I do against Messi?: The same things I did at the Sarria against Maradona,” the 61-year-old told Marca. “Above all, to not let him get the ball and if he does, in the worst conditions possible. “It must never be him that starts off a move with the advantage. “You need to mark Messi in a special way, to keep him away from the rest of the team. “Juve need him to feel out of sorts, to feel isolated; they need him to raise his head and not find any Barcelona shirts nearby. “That’s the only way to limit the effectiveness of his moves. “I say ‘limit’ because there is no way to completely stop him; that’s impossible. “A defender has to be strong. That’s something very different to being dirty and going in to do harm. A defender is a defender, not a dancer.”

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Romulo: 'Juve are confident' Jun 6, 2015 Romulo insists Juventus are “sure everything will go well” in the Champions League Final with Barcelona. It kicks off tonight at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT) at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. “It was wonderful to win Serie A and the Coppa Italia, but it’s even better to play the Final of the Champions League 12 years later,” full-back Romulo told FootMercato. “We are sure everything will go well. The squad is motivated, confident and concentrated. We are aware of how important this game is, we must reach it in the best possible shape – well rested, well trained and well fed to give our best. “We can’t know what will happen. Many consider Barcelona to be the favourites, but anything is possible. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win. The fans in Turin have faith and so do we.” Max Allegri has already beaten Barcelona in the Champions League while at Milan, neutralising Leo Messi, while he had an excellent record against Luis Enrique as Roma boss. “Everyone knows we are tactically disciplined,” continued Romulo. “Juventus are a compact squad who are difficult to face. “I think that Paul Pogba will become one of the best players in the history of football. He is very quick, has technique and is physically strong. “It is difficult to find all three of those characteristics in one player, but he has it all. He’s just extraordinary. “Pogba is also a little bit Brazilian, as he’s always smiling and joking.”

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Nedved: 'Juve can win this' Jun 6, 2015 Pavel Nedved hopes Juventus can tonight make up for his 2003 Champions League Final disappointment. “We can win this.” The Czech star was suspended for that Final against Milan at Old Trafford, much as Giorgio Chiellini is ruled out by injury to face Barcelona in Berlin. “It was a huge disappointment for me in 2003,” Nedved told Tuttosport. “Now Juve are back at the top, are dominating football in Italy and are holding their own in Europe, even if four clubs can consider themselves stronger. “The lads strongly wanted this Final. Of course, with Leo Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, some people – who in my view are over the top – say that Barcelona start from 2-0. “Yes, they are difficult to stop, unpredictable, creative and strong, but we can win this. “Barça are the favourites, fine, but the Final is a different thing. Anything could happen in a one-off game. “We must block off Barcelona’s initiative and attack them.” Nedved has a particular eye out for his old teammate Gigi Buffon, who was in that 2003 Final. “The Champions League is the only trophy missing from his career.”

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Bartomeu: 'Juve can hurt Barca' Jun 6, 2015 Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu admits “we want to make history, but Juventus can hurt us.” The Champions League Final is tonight in Berlin and whatever happens one of these clubs will complete the Treble. “We want to make history with another Triplete,” Barteomeu told Sport Mediaset. “However, Juve can hurt us. They have a great collective and set the example in terms of planning. “I am friends with President Andrea Agnelli and we have an excellent rapport.” Barça are believed to be interested in Juve midfielder Paul Pogba and agent Mino Raiola was spotted this morning talking to Blaugrana director Ariedo Braida. “Pogba? He’s a great player,” smiled Bartomeu.

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Ferrara: 'Juve need Italian mentality' Jun 6, 2015 Ciro Ferrara said Juventus should “play with an Italian mentality” against Barcelona in the Champions League Final. The former defender was on the pitch when Juve last won this trophy, beating Ajax in 1996. “If you take them as individual players, then Barcelona are stronger, but their forwards stay in advanced roles and do not chase opponents,” Ferrara told Sky Sport Italia. “Juve are a very compact side. They have to play with an Italian mentality, the way Inter did against Barcelona in the semi-final of 2010. “Everyone is tied to their era. I played in a Juve that made history, not just by winning the Champions League, but for the other finals, the Scudetti won and all the rest. “This is a winning Juve side that needs that step up in quality for a definitive consecration on the European stage.”

JUVENTUS - BARCELONA - FINAL Saturday, June 6th, 2015 - 08:45 P.M. Olympiastadion, Berlin Referee:‬ Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey) Low: Juventus know how to deal with Messi, Suarez & Neymar The World Cup winner believes that the Bianconeri can curb the Blaugrana's attacking threat but he still expects the Catalans to prevail. Jun 6, 2015 Germany coach Joachim Low believes that Juventus are up to the challenge of stopping Barcelona’s prolific triumvirate of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar. The two sides are both hoping to secure famous trebles in Saturday’s Champions League final in Berlin, with both already having claimed domestic league-and-cup doubles. Barca arrive in Germany as favourites but Low is expecting a tight affair. “Everyone believes that Barcelona is favourite but it will be very difficult. Juve know how to react to players like Messi, Neymar and Suarez," Low told Uefa in Berlin. "Barcelona are in good shape, with no injuries. I think in the end they will prevail narrowly. They are full of world-class players.” The 2014 World Cup-winning coach went on to add that he is looking forward to an intriguing tactical clash in which both teams will take a very different approach. "It will be a bit of a struggle of systems,” he said. “An Italian team with a good defensive organisation against a Spanish team with great offensive quality. Although Juve are a team that don’t only defend – they can attack, too."
