VIỆT HÙNG |

Facing many doubts about their form before the opening day of the Champions League, but still on the familiar wings named Messi, Barca had a welcome start.

Expected rookie Ousmane Dembele was brought on by Barca from the start and was accompanied by the duo Messi - Suarez in the home team's attack.

Barca had more possession and put a lot of pressure on Buffon's goal in the first minutes, but the team that showed the accuracy was Juventus. "The old Mrs. Zi" only had 3 shots in the first 10 minutes, but all 3 were on target and quite dangerous.

In this match, the spearheads of Barca played very freely and continuously put pressure on the opponent. As a result, Juventus only lasted until the 45+1 minute, in a free-kick combination with Suarez, Messi fired a dangerous diagonal shot with his left foot that left Buffon helpless. 1-0 for Barca was the result of the first half.

With an open goal, Barca played better and better. After the situation that made the away team's fans heartbroken in the 52nd minute, Messi made his mark with Rakitic's goal just 4 minutes later. El Puga broke into the opponent's penalty area from the right wing, playing a dangerous cross that Sturaro had to break, the ball found Rakitic and the Croatian midfielder did not make any mistakes at such a short distance.

The match ended in the 69th minute. From a breakthrough in front of the familiar penalty area, Messi fired his right foot shot into the left corner of Juve in Buffon's amazement. 3-0 for Barca and a smile fell on Coach Valveder's face off the pitch.

In the final minutes of the match, Suarez added the ball into Juve's goal but it was not recognized. However, 3-0 was enough for Barca's sweet revenge against their opponents for the debt they borrowed in the Champions League last year.
