Barcelona must control Paulo Dybala threat to overcome Juventus in Champions League quarter-finals

Barcelona return to UEFA Champions League action on Tuesday night to meet Juventus in the last eight round  — Make sure you don’t miss the 8.45pm CET kickoff by streaming the match here.

This clash could be considered a rematch of the 2015 final in which Barca deservedly defeated Juventus 3–1 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin — achieving the fifth big-eared European Cup as a result.

Juventus, who have not been beaten at home for an impressive 21 matches, will surely be a tough nut to crack for the Catalan giants. Having said that, nothing is impossible for Lionel Messi’s Barcelona, especially after their heroic victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round — their epic 6-1 victory in the return leg included, of course.
Paulo Dybala, the Argentinean youngster who continues to draw comparisons to Lionel Messi on a daily basis, has a huge part to play in the quarterfinals. Given Barcelona‘s recent struggles when defending against speedy forwards, Luis Enrique would be wise to pay special attention to reading his movements — particularly when running into space behind the Catalans’ backline.
Dani Alves, now defending Juventus’ colours, will make an emotional return to the stadium which saw him become one of the best right-backs the world has ever seen. That being said, such feeling will not matter much once the ball starts rolling given the importance of the clash.

Here is Barcelona‘s squad list:

Goalkeepers: Marc-André ter Stegen, Jasper Cillessen, Jordi Masip

Defenders: Piqué, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba, Lucas Digne, Sergi Roberto, Samuel Umtiti, Jérémy Mathieu, Aleix Vidal (injured)

Midfielders: Rakitic, Denis Suárez, Andrés Iniesta, André Gomes, Carles Aleñá, Álex Carbonell, Sergio Busquets (suspended), Arda Turan (injured)

Forwards: Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Neymar, Paco Alcácer
