Luis Enrique expecting Juventus battle in Champions League final

Luis Enrique expects to see "two teams fighting for the ball" when Barcelona play Juventus in the Champions League final.

Luis Enrique has suggested that Barcelona will be involved in a battle when they face Juventus in next Saturday's Champions League final.

The Blaugrana are odds-on favourites to lift their fifth European Cup when they take on the Bianconeri at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

However, Enrique's knowledge of Juve, largely from his stint as Roma boss, leads him to believe that Barca will be made to fight for possession.

He told UEFA.com: "I watched Juventus in recent years with Antonio Conte. They were a very hardworking team who I think played good football.

"Maybe they were unlucky in Europe, but they had the ability to go a lot further in the Champions League. They are the Italian team who have been playing at the highest level in recent years.

"So get ready for a final between two teams fighting for the ball. Juventus are able to shut down and play their own way without being punished. They can maintain possession. They are capable of counter-attacking."

Juventus rounded off their Serie A campaign with a 2-2 draw at Hellas Verona on Saturday evening.
