Pavel Nedved: 'Juventus can beat Barcelona'

Former Juventus attacker Pavel Nedved is confident that the Italian champions can overcome Barcelona in the Champions League final on Saturday.

However, Nedved, who was part of the Juve side that lost in the 2003 Champions League final to AC Milan, has conceded that Barca's attacking threat will be difficult to contain.

"The lads strongly wanted this final. Of course, with Leo Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, some people – who in my view are over the top – say that Barcelona start from 2-0," Nedved told Tuttosport.

"Yes, they are difficult to stop, unpredictable, creative and strong, but we can win this."

Juventus have already won both Serie A and the Coppa Italia this season and, like Barcelona, are chasing a treble.
