Barcelona have to be smarter than ever to beat Juve

Barcelona have lost two of their last three away games in the UEFA Champions League, including the 4-0 loss in Paris. What's more, Barça have won just four of their last 10 games away from Camp Nou in the competition, drawing two and losing four.  

They have unfinished business and the Juventus Stadium would not seem to be the best stage to solve the deficit. This dilemma arrives just after throwing half the league away at Malaga. Barça are playing with fire and could get burnt. 

The Azulgrana have very few games left this season and only ambition and aggression from the players will open up the possibility of winning titles this season. The ball is in their court. 

Turin is not an easy place to go and the trip to Paris will be very fresh in the Barça players mind because they did not compete in France and they were rolled over. After came the miracle at Camp Nou (6-1), but it would be mad to tempt fate again. 

 

Barça must fasten up more than ever against Juventus, concede few goals and, above all, score one. That way, the mission becomes to decide the tie at Camp Nou. It's going to be a great battle between two opposite football ideas. Attack and defence. In the end, the smartest team will progress.
