Prediction Juventus vs Barcelona in the Champions League: Still Without Cristiano Ronaldo
A great duel will be presented when Juventus host Barcelona on the second match day of Group G 2020/21 Champions League , Thursday (29/10/2020). In fact, the public is looking forward to the duel between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in this match.
Unfortunately, Ronaldo still seems to be absent from defending Juventus. CR7 is still not recovering after testing positive for Covid-19.
But Juventus certainly cannot resign just because their flagship star is absent. Andrea Pirlo's troops must serve Barcelona, which is now being handled by Ronald Koeman.
In the last five matches, Juventus and Barcelona have not found their best performance. Juventus, even though they have never lost, have only won 2 times, while Barcelona have lost 2 times, drawn 1 and won 2 times.
However, Juventus and Barcelona are both still vigilant about the match.
"Barcelona is strong and has a winning mentality. We have to play well," Pirlo was quoted as saying on the official UEFA website.
In addition to their poor performance, Juventus and Barcelona were also hit by a storm of injuries. Some of the key players from the two clubs appear to be missing tomorrow's match.
In the Juventus camp apart from Ronaldo, there are Alex Sandro, Matthijs De Ligt, and Giorgio Chiellini who are absent. "We will rely on the available players," said Pirlo.
Meanwhile in the Barcelona camp, Koeman was unable to play goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter Stegen and midfielder Philippe Coutinho. Both are absent due to injury.
