Barcelona vs. Juventus: Team News, Preview, Live Stream, TV Info for UCL Match

Published by Bleacher Report on Tue, 18 Apr 2017


Barcelona have another steep comeback attempt ahead of them when they play host to Juventus on Wednesday, hoping to overturn a 3-0 deficit in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final.Paulo Dybala bagged a brace before Giorgio Chiellini joined the scoring in Turin last Tuesday as the Bianconeri assembled an unexpected three-goal advantage ahead of their trip to Catalonia.However, Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri has been hit by the news that Dybala could be in a fight to make the return leg after suffering an injury in Saturday's win over Serie A opponents Pescara.Barca already pulled off one fairytale revival in the round of 16, when they beat Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 in the second leg to topple the French side, although that may not be as simple a task against Italy's kingpins.Read on for all the latest team news leading into Wednesday's Champions League encounter, complete with a look at the top headlines and all the necessary live-stream information to ensure you catch the entertainment.Date:Wednesday, April 19Time:7:45 p.m. BST/2:45 p.m. ETVenue:Camp Nou, BarcelonaLive Stream:BT Sport app (UK), beIN Sports Connect (U.S.)TV Info:BT Sport 2 (UK), beIN Sports 1 (U.S.)Team NewsDybala's fitness is the major concern for Juve ahead of Wednesday's second leg, although Spanish newspaperSport reported the forward trained on Monday, with the Italian club optimistic over his chances of featuring.Aaron West of Fox Sports provided video of Dybala leaving Pescara after Sulley Muntari's wayward tackle caused his departure, giving Bianconeri fans more cause for comfort ahead of the visit to Catalonia:Centre-back Javier Mascherano is Barcelona's only major doubt for Wednesday due to a calf injury, although theGuardian's Michael Cox wasn't impressed with the Argentinian during last Tuesday's opening leg:Football Italia reported Mascherano missed training for Barca on Sunday as a result of the injury, although Arda Turan looks likely to be available after overcoming an adductor issue.If Mascherano is deemed unfit, Samuel Umtiti would be the chief option to feature alongside Gerard Pique in central defence, while Jordi Alba could start at left-back after sitting out the first leg.PreviewBoth sets of players have been more than willing to engage in fighting talk leading up to Wednesday's second leg at the Camp Nou, with Barca reluctant to give up in their pursuit of another historic comeback.Despite Juve's 3-0 lead, Barca can count themselves as one team capable of pulling off such a turnaround, and Blaugrana star Neymar sent his opponents a warning ahead of the clash.He toldBrazilian broadcaster Esporte Interativo (h/t theGuardian):"We have to believe we can do it. The other day my father told me one thing which has stayed in my head, and I think it's true. In front of us we have a different team, butBarcelonais the same. And we can do it."Meanwhile, Juventus defender Chielliniwho scored in Turin last weeksuggested his team will be looking to add to their lead in Catalonia when he spoke to Sky Italia (h/t GianlucaDi Marzio):It's impossible to think to go to Barcelona and defend the 3-0, we know this and so do the other teams. It will be very difficult to not give up a goal at the Camp Nou, like we did in the first leg. We know we need to go there to score, hopefully one more goal than they have.If we can keep their world class players as far away from goal as possible, by pressing, keeping a high line and being compact, then everything can become more difficult for them. We need to be careful because at home Barcelona always does something magical, but they'll face a team determined to end Luis Enrique's cycle in Europe with Barcelona with a loss.As was seen against PSG at the Camp Nou on March 8, Barcelona have it in their locker to take the game to elite opposition and score goals in great numbers, although Juventus will be wise to the quality they face.An away goal for the Italians would almost certainly mean qualification to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League, with Barca's defence perhaps under the magnifying glass more so than their attack.
