The team is rounded out by a stellar forward line, as Barcelona duo Coutinho and Messi flank Juventus forward Ronaldo.
Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has shown his faith in Coutinho this season after the Brazilian spent the last season on loan at Bayern Munich.
Coutinho has managed 3 goals and 2 assists in his 8 starts this season and has shown how dangerous he is as part of a front three. The former Liverpool man likes to cut inside from the left and will be a great matchup for Juventus' Cuadrado on Tuesday.
Lionel Messi obviously makes the squad, with the Argentinian having 7 goals and 4 assists in 13 appearances in what has been a quiet season for the Barcelona superstar. Messi famously made an attempt to leave Barcelona in the summer, but begrudgingly stayed on with the Spanish giants. Messi is still one of the best players in the world and will start on the right wing, with his Juventus counterpart leading the line.

The other half of the fabled rivalry, Cristiano Ronaldo rounds out this combined XI. The Portuguese forward missed the early part of the season after contracting the coronavirus. But Ronaldo doesn't seemed to have missed a beat, having scored 10 goals in 9 appearances this season. The former Real Madrid man will look to be the difference-maker for Juventus when they face Barcelona on Tuesday.
