One of the most difficult teams that Juventus faced was Barcelona. A 3-0 victory in their first match helped raise the confidence of the Italians, but Barca was just coming off one of the largest surprises of the club’s history. In short, Barcelona was able to overcome a 5-0 aggregate on home turf, and despite allowing a goal in that contest, Barca was still able to get it done in dramatic fashion within the closing minutes. This caused Juventus to rightfully worry, but in the end a near impenetrable performance from Juves’ defense assured that Barca would not score in the second leg, a testament to this club’s defensive capabilities.
