Chiellini being out is a massive blow for Juve. Can definitely see Barca making a meal of them.
Champions League Final - Barcelona vs Juventus
- Thread starter NoPace
- Start date
Bet on Barca for the CL earlier in the season - shall I cashout or will Barca defo do it?
It was already tough enough and losing Chiellini is a blow, even if they have good cover.
Tell me how fully fit Dortmund, Atletico (twice), Schalke, or even bloody Juve were?
lol
Juve 20% Barça 80%
Barzagli will play instead of him, doesn't change nothing.
My GF got completely excited by stating that the poisonous front three will completely stretch them out. She then gave me a cold glance. I think she likes me.
I'm hoping for an upset
While Chiellini's injury certainly is a blow, the replacement Barzagli has been the best and most consistent defender in Italy over the past five years, and certainly one of the best defenders in Europe during this period. Only his current fitness might be a problem since he's missed most of the season due to injury.

You guys didnt read this thread then!

true... i think the biggest problem is that Barzagli himself is not 100% fit, so if he gets injured in the first 20-30 minutes, well, that would be a big early headache for Allegri. Hopefully he can play the 90+ minutes at good level though.
Italian class versus Spanish nonchalance
Messi with a fecking backpack ffs 
Both teams arrived safely in Berlin today.Must watch Con Air again sometime.
What is that from Barcelona? They really look like a bunch of convicts (I see the Con Air reference).
Next we'll see Suarez walking behind Messi, holding his pocket.
Any particular reason why the CL final was scheduled so late this season? I don't remember it ever being this late. Took a lot of hype out of it. Season feels long over.
Maybe because the Copa del Rey final was scheduled so late, and the whole strike situation in Spain? Or was it always going to be this late? I agree with you though, should've been last week. I think last year's final was 24th of May iirc...
The Italian season finished last weekend too. Next years final will be earlier due to the European championships starting in June.
Barca is gonna beat Juve, I dont see much of a contest. Neymar will open the scoring before Juve pull one back. Suarez and Messi to cap off the match with two sensational goals.
3 - 1 to Barca.
3 - 1 to Barca.
I feel it might be Buffon and Pirlo's day today. Two legends of the game.
Say what you will about the Italians but they know how to dress.
It's Messi's day. Can feel it.
Win or lose I hope this isn't Luis Enrique's last game in charge.
Why would it be?
There are presidential elections this year and the elected president may want his own chosen manager in charge. He may for whatever reason decide to walk after tonight's game win or lose.
Ah, interesting.
I can't imagine anyone getting shot of someone who just won the league & champs league though. Even Madrid or Chelsea are not that crazy.
Yeah, I hope the president, whoever it is, keeps him maybe even extends his contract which runs out in 2016.
You do like a punt on a rank outsider. Golden Horn for the Derby?
They wouldn't schedule CL final based on one league's calendar. It's that 2014 was a World Cup year and they simply wanted to extend players holidays so they made CL play a week later. A lot of leagues (Spain included) followed the path.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Dani Alves.
Why is Neymar wearing a sports bra?
Aren't they like heart-rate and gps monitor things?
Anyone knows of a cool place in Berlin to watch the match? @Balu maybe?
I can't be arsed staying awake for this.
Barca better win, don't want Pogba to have a CL title.
Call me crazy, just think the wee man has been in good form and could show up in the final.
Never been more sure about anything in my life. 2-0 Barca.
If we lose, I'll blame you all. This overconfidence is just bugging me.
Nope, sorry. I haven't been in Berlin for a football match since the World Cup in 2006 and then I either had tickets or just went to the main, official fanzone.
