Barcelona will face Juventus in the Joan Gamper trophy on Sunday, as they prepare for life after Lionel Messi. Both teams have talented players on their rosters and are looking to make a statement this weekend.
Juventus is going through a period of transition right now, and they’ve been far below their best for the past year. After failing to defend their Serie A title last season, the Bianconeri will have to step up this season.
Barcelona, on the other hand, has had a turbulent few years, and Lionel Messi’s shock departure could be the final nail in the coffin. The Blaugrana are in disarray at the moment and need to make a big statement in this match.
Barcelona vs Juventus Head to Head
Barcelona has a slight advantage over Juventus, having won four of the ten games played between the two teams. Juventus has three wins over Barcelona and will be looking to even the score in this match.
Last year’s meeting between the two teams took place in the UEFA Champions League, and Juventus came out on top 3-0. Barcelona had a poor night and will be looking to rebound this weekend.
