MATCH PREVIEW:
Barcelona begin life without Messi, as the Argentina captain shocked the world with his exit from the club two days ago.
Koeman’s team will have to put all that at the back as they take the field to face Juventus in the John Gamper Trophy final on Monday.
The Catalan club come into this one on the back of a 2-1 loss against Salzburg on Wednesday.
Goals from Sucic and Aaronson ensured victory for the Austrian side while Braithwaite pulled one back for Barcelona.
On the other hand, Juventus come into this on the back of successive wins against R.C. Cesena and Monza.
Ranocchia and Kulusevski scored for the Bienconeri while D’Alessandro pulled one back for Monza.
The men from Turin look in good form under Allegri and will aim for a good start to the campaign beginning with silverware.
Ronaldo is expected to feature in this one after he returned from rest and has been training with the side in the past week.
Juventus are aiming to get back to the top after a poor last season where they finished 4th in the League and missed out in the UCL as well.
Line-ups:

Juventus:
Perin, De Winter, Dragusin, Rugani, De Sciglio, McKennie, Miretti, Ranocchia, Kulusevski, Ronaldo and Correia
Prediction: Barcelona 1-3 Juventus
The Catalan side have been in good form but will need their other players to fill the void in absence of Messi in this one.
A loss to Salzburg followed by Messi’s departure will have affected the Barcelona side but they should put up a good performance irrespective.
Juventus look the more confident and in-form unit ahead of this one and should win this one.
