The stage is set,the turf is ready and the footballing nation is eagered to see the new european leaders as Juventus Go toe-to-toe against Barcelona in Berlin on the 6th of june.
With a chance for both teams to earn a treble with a victory on the 6th, we can safely say that this is not going to be a David and Goliath encounter,on the contrary Barcelona might find it too tough to tame down this excellent Juventus side.Its a chance for Italian football to return at the helm of European football after an everlasting
period of European disappointment for Italian sides.Masimilliano Allegri's Juventus has been rewarding the football fans with a scintillating display of football for the past few seasons ,it's the time for the manager to actually return the holy grail of football to the Azzurri's, and we can expect the whole of italy backing them. WIth players like Carlos Tevez, Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal in the squad, nobody can rule out Juventus's chances in their chase for their second treble. We had all witnessed how this tactical defending earned them a spot in the UCL final beating last year's champions Real Madrid. On the other hand,there's this renovated Barcelona side which is a complete turn around from what she was last year.Luis Suarez has been an instant success and the barcelona attack has gained more teeth with the inclusion of the uruguayan and Ivan Rakitic. So much has been the latter's influence that the veteran Xavi had been benched for the greater of the season.Messi is in the form of his life, he has never looked better, Neymar has been effectively doing his bit beside the two greatest players in the world, with 37 goals already this season neymar inarguably is the next biggest thing in the footballing community.
Its a clash of the giants,the italian defense vs the swift spanish attack, the frightening MSN vs the veteran Bonucci, Chiellini and Evra. Neutral supporters are in the midst of this foliage of a strange yearning where the heart says Juventus but the brain says Barcelona. At the end of the day , let the final befit the huge expectations it carries and let the worthy win ! The crown for supremacy , the pinnacle of European glory has neared its climax !
