BARCELONA will welcome Italian champions Juventus to the Nou Camp on tonight, with the eagerly-anticipated battle between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo expected to take centre stage.

The Spanish giants ran out 2-0 winners against the Old Lady in October, with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Lionel Messi doing the damage.

A second successive win over Andre Pirlo's side would see Barca seal top spot in Group G, which they currently lead by the three points.

Victory at the Nou Camp would see Juve move level on points with the Catalans, although they'll need to win by seven goals to qualify for the last-16 as group winners.

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to spearhead Juventus' attack at the Nou Camp, where he frequently played during his time at Real Madrid.

The Portugal international missed the reverse fixture in October due to a positive coronavirus test.

Juve will be without the services of centre-backs Merih Demiral and Georgio Chiellini, who will miss the match with iliopsoas and hamstring injuries respectively.

Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman, meanwhile, won't be able to call on Ousmane Dembele, who will miss the match with a hamstring injury.
