Team news
Barcelona begin the 2017/18 Champions League campaign the same way their 2016/17 season ended: by hosting Juventus. The Blaugrana get an early shot at revenge, hosting the club that knocked them out of the quarter-final in Matchday 1.
Ernesto Valverde’s side head into this game on the back of a convincing 5-0 win. Messi (hat-trick) and Suarez (one goal) both scored, and will hope to link up with new signing Ousmane Dembele in order to break down the Serie A champions.
Vermaelen, Digne and Aleix Vidal were all left out by the manager from Tuesday’s squad. Paco Alcacer also misses out due to gastroenteritis, joining the injured Rafinha and Arda Turan.
Allegri has worries of his own. The Old Lady are without the suspended Cuadrado, who was sent off in last season’s final. Furthermore, Marchisio (knee), Khedira (knee), Chiellini (calf), Mandžukić (leg) are also tipped to miss, with Alex Sandro being a doubt due to illness.
