Juventus will be coming up against a formidable looking Barcelona attack in the 2015 Champions League final.

They face an uphill task in order to win against the favourites. The Italian club have reached this stage of the competition against all the odds. The likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich were seen as the proper contenders for Barcelona, who have largely relied upon the front three of Luis Suarez, Neymar, and Lionel Messi. It is easy for other clubs to see the strength of the Catalan giants, but it has been a whole different ballgame to try and stop them.

Bayern Munich are not blessed with the best of defences, but it was rather surprising with the way they struggled to avoid Barcelona from creating chances. Even though they have held together until the second half, a few moments of a lapse in concentration saw them suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat. Juventus will be hoping for a much better showing against Messi and his teammates, but manager Massimiliano Allegri reckons that it will be difficult nonetheless. Allegri has refused to dwell into aspects like having a separate plan to stop Messi. If Juventus win the final, they will complete a treble after having already sealed the league title and the Coppa Italia.

"To man-mark Messi is almost impossible, we just need to do a good job and work around him. But besides limiting Messi, Barca have Neymar and Luis Suarez.They have so many technical players that we will need to play a game with a lot of courage, knowing that we will have difficult times during the match and moments where we will have opportunities.We just have one more game and we need to be clever and bring home the trophy. We also need to be fortunate," said the manager.
