Juventus vs Barcelona: 5 Talking Points

#4 Juventus let down by their attack

Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain was visibly frustrated throughout the game

Gonzalo Higuain had the same number of shots on goal as Rugani and Benatia - one! If Suarez had a bad game, the Argentine striker had it worse.

The 29-year-old was simply starved of service by Barcelona's midfield and defence. The one opportunity he did get saw him turn the defender after receiving the ball with his back to goal before firing it over the crossbar and into the stands.

A lot of that was down to Douglas Costa and Juan Cuadrado getting shut down on the flanks. Nelson Semedo and Lucas Digne did well to keep them in check and when they did find a way inside, they were ably dealt with by Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti.

34 - Juventus have failed to score tonight after 34 consecutive home games (all competitions) they had always found the net in. Break. #JuventusBarcellona

Miralem Pjanic and Sami Khedira both managed only one key pass - combined. Barcelona did well to shepherd the ball towards the flanks before pressing hard to win it back.
