Juventus and Barcelona will meet in Allianz Stadium at one of the best matches in the phase of the League Champions Group, a repeat of the 2015 final, writes Pericopi.
Both teams are the group G's clear favourites, and a victory for each of them could mean a major step to secure first place.
Italian giants have won their last four matches at home in the tournament and have lost only four of their 42 European exits to Allianz Stadium. However, Cristiano Ronaldo will not play for Juventu after the Portuguese star again proved positive for the coronary.
Ronaldo's absence is a big loss for Bianconers, as the assailant scored 15 goals in his last 20 appearances against the Catalan team in all races, not to mention that he is the main goalist of all time in the Champions League.
But Juventu's concerns do not end here, Andrea Pirlo hopes Leonardo Bonucci will finally be ready to play against Barca, while Paolo Dybala is expected to appear after beginning his first season match against Hellas Verona last weekend.
As for Barcelona, Gerard Pique will not be available after being expelled for a 5-1 victory over Ferencivaros in Camp Nou. His colleague Samuel Umtti is not capable, so this may open up the possibility that Ronald Arawio is a partner of Clement Langlet's defense.
On the other hand, Philippe Coutinho will lose the match because of a injury.
We remember that the match will take place at 9:00, 24 hours after Josep Maria Bartholomew resigned as president of the Catalan club. /Periscopi
