#3 - Keep Dybala away from the ball

Paulo Dybala showed the world what he can do with the ball at his feet. When the Argentine got the slightest of space, he curled in a beauty to hand Juventus the lead.

That is something they need to avoid today. Mascherano and Umtiti are set to battle it out for who gets to start alongside Pique tonight, but the most important thing is, it is Busquets who has to play like Dybala's shadow.

They need to take a look at what Ander Herrera did to keep Eden Hazard out of the Manchester United-Chelsea game and replicate the same tonight. With Dybala out of the match, it would become tough for Higuain to score on his own.
