Barcelona 0-0 Juventus (Agg 0-3): 5 Talking Points - UEFA Champions League 2016/17

#2 Juventus’ defence is the best in the world

Leonardo Bonucci led a fantastic Juventus performance

Ahead of their incredible 6-1 comeback against PSG, Barcelona had a genuine belief in their pre-match statements of overturning a 4-0 deficit. The same statements were made ahead of this game, but they rang hollow. Juventus' all-conquering defence was the reason for that.

Barcelona are the top-scorers in all of Europe - they've scored a staggering 143 goals in all competitions so far. Yet, in 180 minutes of football against Juventus, Barcelona managed to score exactly none. At a time when 3-at-the-back is in vogue, Juve show exactly how great a 4-man defence can be, with Dani Alves, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Alex Sandro all having a stellar night.

Here’s a look at a few mind-boggling stats that Juventus’ backline have achieved:

#FORTFACT - Juventus has conceded just twice on their last 865 Champions League minutes
