Before the second round of the Champions League group stage: The big match in Turin

The 2020-21 Champions League season has started with very exciting, dramatic matches and also many surprises. Of the total 16 matches, only 1 match ended in a 0-0 draw (Ch Chelsea - Sevilla), the remaining 30 teams contributed 49 goals to the audience.

After that first round, they will return to the world's most prestigious club-level playground with a surprising promise.

The focal match of this round is in Turin, where Juventus welcomed Barcelona. As soon as the draw results were released, fans were eagerly waiting for this match, because this will be the first time Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have reunited on the field since 2018.

However, unfortunately, during his time in the national team, Ronaldo tested positive for COVID-19. Therefore, he will have to sit at home to watch his teammates face his biggest rivals.

After missing the confrontation between CR7 and M10, experts turned their attention to Andrea Pirlo and Ronald Koeman, who were newly appointed as coaches of the two teams last summer.

It is quite interesting that when Juve is famous for its strong, determined playing style of the Italian, Pirlo's task is to bring the team a level playing style, such as the elegant, artistic style of the former Italian midfielder. In contrast, Barca, who were the model of attacking football, appointed Koeman - a former defender, with discipline as the top priority.

Juve and Barca faced each other in the 2015 final, with the Spanish representative winning. 2 years later, Juve successfully took revenge when they faced each other in the quarter-finals. And also in 2017, they were in the same group in the 2017-18 season, where Barca won 1 and drew 1.

This season, Juve and Barca both had good starts, but at the end of last week they did not have the best preparation. Without Ronaldo, Juve were held to a 1-1 draw by Hellas Verona at home, while Messi's Barca lost 1-3 to El Clasico against Real Madrid.

Although Ronaldo is absent and his character in the group stage is not so decisive, the big match in Turin is still of great interest.

Before Juve and Barca take the field on Wednesday, other concerns are for Real Madrid on Tuesday. The Royal team failed in the opening match and the question is whether the win over Barca will change their spirit and spirit? The White Vultures' opponent is Borussia Monchengladbach.

Inter Milan also disappointed somewhat with the draw in the first round and they will be forced to be cautious in their away match at Shakhtar Donetsk after seeing this team make Real Madrid suffer.

Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester City have a chance to continue their winning streak. Man United is the same, but experts are still not sure when assessing their performance as well as their opponent RB Leipzig - the team that reached the semi-finals last season.
