Key Man
Juventus - Captain Gianluigi Buffon was a noticeable absentee in his sides 3-0 defeat to Sampdoria. Boss Massimo Allergi rested the veteran keeper following Italy missing out on qualification for Russia 2018. Buffon should be fully prepared and motivated for the visit of Barca.
Barcelona- Luis Suárez grabbed a brace in the weekends comprehensive 3-0 win over Leganés. It was the Uruguayan’s first goals in four La Liga outings. Suárez has yet to score this season in the Champions League, and will be desperate to get amongst the goals in this one of the biggest games on the European calendar.
