Juventus vs. Barcelona: Starting XIs, Team News from 2015 Champions League Final

Nick AkermanJun 6, 2015

Juventus enter the 2015 Champions League final against Barcelona as underdogs despite knocking Real Madrid out in the last round.

Massimiliano Allegri's men will need to be at their defensive best during the Berlin showpiece.

Unsurprisingly, Barca boss Luis Enrique has named Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez in his starting lineup, as the Blaugrana's official Twitter account reported:

The notable absence from the Old Lady's side is Giorgio Chiellini—the player whom Suarez bit at the World Cup in Brazil—who is absent due to injury, per James Orr of the Independent.

As expected, Carlos Tevez and former Real Madrid player Alvaro Morata lead the line for Juve, as the team's Twitter account confirmed:

The Italian side haven't won the European Cup since 1996, losing their last two finals to Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid. They go in search of their third title, having been runners-up five times.

Barca, on the other hand, have won the competition four times. Three of those triumphs have come since 2006, with the most recent being 2013. The Catalan club have lost three finals.

Both sides have won their domestic league and cup this season and are looking to confirm a historic treble in Germany.
