Nice try, if you really were a Juve fan then you would know that Juventus is a different beast at home, and we are only wondering whether it'll be a win or draw and you'll hear the same from all juve fans
Surely you must be more optimistic than that? Have you been following Barcelona this season? It's really not the same team of old. The big names are still there but the general state of play has been degraded to a large extent. Watch the game against Malaga and you will know why.
Barcelona these days is all about individuals. The team usually only wins games if the big players produce a moment of magic. There is hardly any fluidity or cohesion in the team anymore and it is perhaps the most disjointed team from all the big teams in Europe.
This team is fast becoming the club version of the Argentine national team. As someone who has been watching Barcelona all season long, all I can say is that a score draw would be a fantastic result for us.

Not sure why that attitude?
I would say that on average, you guys are at least just as good as we are. The only thing that can lift us above that average line is the brilliance of players like Messi...and of course you always need a luck in football. RM knows that very well.
So I'll repeat my self, chances should be 50:50, but given our poor consistency this season (thanks our our manager and piss poor transfer decisions) Juve has more chances.
With that said, I hope we'll beat your asses, but if not, at least we'll enjoy some good football.

No Gomes. Why do I feel like Lucho is going to shit the bed and start this fool?

Barca is considered slightly weaker than Juve in tonight match. This is the common assessment of betting companies around the world.
In my opinion, the main problem of Barca throughout this season is that our midfield is not good. No matter how awesome MSN is, if our midfield is not good enough, we will not be able to win tournaments.
Iniesta has exceptional talent, but he is not young anymore.
Rakitic is just a little above the acceptable level. Nothing special about him.
Sergi Roberto is skillful, young, strong and fast, but he cannot play as a midfielder because of Lucho's weird decisions.
Rafinha is quite good, but he's out for the rest of this season.
Gomes and Denis Suarez are simply not good enough. We need to sell these duo asap.
I hope that next season we will take back Thiago from Bayern, as well as put Sergi Roberto back to the midfield.
And recently it seems that Messi likes to play somewhat lower than in the past. Maybe our next coach should consider using him as a midfielder too. His midfield-skillset is also second to none. I believe he will be one of the best midfielders in the world.

Juve ll probably pump tons of long balls into Stegen's box (either from corner kicks or open play from the wings) to take advantage of Barca's aerial duel weakness, n it's highly likely that they ll score from this! Lucho must have a plan to prevent Juve getting corner kicks just like what Pep did to MU in 11/12 final! Getting an away goal ll be crucial! N most importantly, Gomes out of the starting XI. I d like it to be
Stegen
Masche-Pique-Umtiti
Rakitic-Iniesta-Alba
-------Messi
Roberto-Suarez-Neymar

No chance Bayern ll let Thiago go anytime soon n Thiago himself seems to enjoy being at Bayern also! Besides, I d like to see a new n truly world class Right-back ( n a quality backup for Alba d be nice) next season so Barca can go back to 4-3-3 formation, I hate 3-4-3 but Lucho got no choice now!

This is my line-up as well. Probably the best we can put out there.
However, if Gomes starts, we're going to lose this.
