Barcelona vs. Juventus, 2015 Champions League Final: Projected lineups

It's matchday, the biggest one of the season! Barcelona and Juventus will face off at the historical Olympic Stadium of Berlin to decide which team is winning the treble. Both have won their respective league and league cups, and they are one European title away from making history this campaign.

With the awful news of star center-back Giorgio Chielini missing the game due to a surprise calf injury, Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri doesn't really have a great option to replace his best defender: while Andrea Barzagli is an experienced, World Cup-winning center-back, he's not nearly as talented and tactically smart as Chiellini, plus he's nursing a hamstring injury of his own which will definitely limit his impact on the game.
