Juventus vs FC Barcelona confirmed lineups: MSN vs the mighty Juve defence

 

 

There are little surprises on offer as Juventus prepare to take on Barcelona in the quarterfinal first leg at the Juventus Stadium on Tuesday.

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has former Barcelona defender Dani Alves starting at right-back with Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini at the heart of the defence. Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic and Gonzalo Higuain provide the fireworks.

Meanwhile, Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has preferred to stick with a back-three with Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti and Jeremy Mathieu in defence. The front trio of Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar will be relied on for getting the all-important away goal(s).
