Andrea Pirlo believes Juventus can beat Barcelona, as the sides are different to the Champions League final of 2015.
That match proved to be the midfielder’s final appearance in a Bianconeri shirt, as Barça took a 3-1 win in Berlin.
“It will be a different tie compared to two years ago,” Pirlo predicted, speaking to Sport.
“Juventus have changed and this is a different Barcelona. In addition, they’re not playing a final this time, but two games over 180 minutes in which I think we’ll see some good football.

“Juve have a very strong team, and if you want to reach the final you need to play against the best teams.
“I don’t think Juve are a team under construction, they have great players and they’re trying to find the right balance for the four strikers.
“This Juve have the capacity to knock Barcelona out.”
