The most hotly anticipated football match is here.
The hotly anticipated football match between Spanish club, Barcelona and Italian side, Juventus is today. The Champions League game is taking place at Berlin, Germany and needless to say it promises to be an exciting match.
Although Barcelona are favourites to win the trophy but you know football can be unpredictable. I’m an ardent fan of Barcelona and of course I’m backing them to claim the silverware. Wishing both sides the best of luck.
"I will not say what I think of Messi" Pep Guardiola
Bayern Munich coach, Pep Guardiola was visibly pained yesterday after Barcelona’s Lionel Messi caused a stir in the Champions League match against Bayern last night by scoring two goals and setting up the third for teammate, Neymar.
He praised his team and insisted his men controlled the game well but lost their grip after the visitors’ first goal. He also commended the Blaugrana’s team efforts but did not acknowledge the brilliance of the man of the match.
” I will not say what I think of Messi. They are not just Leo, Barca are a very good team . They were very solid , in defence and attack . They have great players , Neymar , Luis Suarez . We tried to control the game so that Messi would not participate so much . We were 15 minutes away from a very good
result . ”
Bayern would need 4goals to knock their opponents out of the race. The Spaniard who coached the spanish team for over 3 years doubts that his team will turn things around when they meet for the second leg.
“You can turn around a one or two-goal deficit, but three is tough.” He added.
Barcelona includes anti-biting clause in Luis Suarez's contract
