Overview
Both Barcelona and Juventus have won the respective league and cup competitions and are in the contention to win the treble this season in the final match of the campaign. The Catalan club won the Copa del Rey by defeating Athletic Bilbao 3-1 at Nou Camp, while the Old Lady lifted the Coppa Italia by defeating Lazio in the final.
Despite suffering a 3-2 defeat against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League final at the Allianz Arena, Luis Enrique's side progressed to the final by winning the two-legged tie 5-3 on aggregate.
Juventus defeated Real Madrid 3-2 on aggregate to seal a berth in this season's Champions League final.
Barcelona currently holds the best attacking lineup in Europe as the South American trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez have been lethal and found the back of the net regularly.
The Turin club has a very good defence, which includes the likes of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and centre-backs Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci. However, the Italian outfit will be without the services of Chiellini for the final, as he has been ruled out with a torn calf muscle.
What Managers Said
Luis Enrique: "Winning the Champions League would signify a treble for us and it's something that excites everyone. It's happened just once in the club's history, and this tells you how difficult it is to achieve. [But] I'm concerned about everything Juventus have to offer. They possess quality players. I hope [playmaker Andrea] Pirlo doesn't have too much influence on the game, because we all know what he's capable of doing."
Massimiliano Allegri: "I hope Messi can be defeated tomorrow night. We are here for this very reason. Otherwise we would have gone somewhere else. Tomorrow we'll do our best. It's a one-off, there's no chance to play it again. We must take the last step. The Champions Legaue is also about moments that either go in your favour or against you. Regardless, it's been an extraordinary year."
