Juventus vs Barcelona: 5 reasons why the Old Lady will win against the Blaugrana

#1 The real ‘BBC’ are capable of outshining ‘MSN’

Much has been made of the vaunted Barcelona trio of Messi, Neymar and Suarez (and rightly so), but what stands in their way tonight might be their biggest challenge so far. While Juventus no longer play with a back three of Barzagli, Chiellini and Bonucci, they still have the defensive BBC trio to rely on.

Playing 4 at the back under Allegri this season, the likes of Bonucci, Chiellini and the evergreen Gianluigi Buffon have been at their dependable best keeping plenty of clean sheets and not giving a moment’s respite to the opposition attackers.

Bonucci and Chiellini’s tactical reading of the game is second to none and in Buffon, Juventus have got the greatest goalkeeper of our generation. Still capable of making stunning saves and very much at the top of their games, the presence of Buffon, Bonnuci and Chiellini will certainly provide a calming influence and make the Old Lady faithful confident of keeping a clean sheet.

Juventus are the toughest opponents Barcelona could probably draw in the Champions League and it looks likely that the Catalan giants will have more than a match on their hands during the first leg at Juventus stadium tonight.

Prediction: Juventus 3-1 Barcelona
