Fernando Llorente says Barcelona ‘suffer if they don’t have the ball’, but the problem for Juventus will be getting it off them.

The Bianconeri face off against the Catalan side in the Champions League final on Saturday, and the Spanish international believes starving them of possession will be key.

“Barcelona are a team which suffers if they don’t have the ball,” Llorente explained, speaking to journalists at a media day.

“Barcelona are a team which suffers if they don’t have the ball,” Llorente explained, speaking to journalists at a media day.

“The problem is that they’re always being pressurised, they play at speed, they’re used to being pressed and getting possession from them is not easy.

“We’ll have to attack them, keep the ball and try to hurt them. I’ve seen a few games where they’ve been nervous because they couldn’t play the way they wanted.

“That’s one thing we need to do to limit their threat.”
