Two of the most historic clubs in Europe will meet on Saturday, June 6, to determine the winner of the 2015 UEFA Champions League, when Barcelona and Juventus meet in Berlin, Germany.
Barcelona will be hoping to win their fourth title since 2006, while Juventus will be trying for their first title in 21 years, after losing their last three Champions League finals.
Barcelona has been one of the most dominant teams in Europe over the last decade, thanks in part to the emergence of Lionel Messi as one of the best players in the world.
They won the Spanish league this season, and are in the finals of the Spanish Cup, if they can win the Champions League final and the Spanish Cup, they will win the treble for just the second time in club history, making them the only European team to have done it twice.
Like Barcelona, Juventus is also in line to achieve a treble this season, they were able to win the Italian League for the fourth consecutive season, and they also ended a 20 year drought when they won the Italian Cup.
A win in the Champions League finals will give them the treble, making them the only Italian team other than Inter Milan, to achieve the feat.
Going into this match, all eyes will be on Lionel Messi, who has been amazing all year long, leading his club back to the Champions League finals.
But Barcelona has a lot of great players on their team, and will be a very difficult challenge for Juventus defensively.
Fortunately for the Italian champions, they have faced some of the best offensive teams in Europe during their Champions League campaign, so they should be able to figure out a way to slow down Messi and his teammates.
As of right now, neither team has any major injury issues, so they should be at full strength when they meet in a little over a week.
For Juventus, Carlos Tevez has been the difference maker on the offensive end, and leads the team with 20 goals.
He has had some help from players like Paul Pogba and Alvaro Morata, and he will need both players to step their game up when they play Barcelona, who can put up a lot of goals if they’re not careful.
But they will be going into the finals with a lot of confidence, after eliminating the defending champions in the semifinals.
These two teams have played each other four times in the Champions League, but never in the finals. Each team has one win, and the other two games ended in draws, so history tells us this is a game that can go either way.
Champions League Odds and Predictions.
Barcelona is the favorite going into this match, the money line is -175 in their favor, and +5000 for Juventus. The over/under on total goals scored is 2.5.
My Pick: Juventus played well against Real Madrid, but Barcelona has been playing very well lately, and have a lot of scoring options, so I’m picking the Spanish giants to win this game.
