Qualifying may stand in the way of a potential Champions League campaign, but as long as Celtic’s name is in the hat, there’s a chance that the boys in green and white could make it all the way to the final next season. But for now we’ll have to make do with watching the big game on the telly, but it’s set to be a cracker.

Juventus and Barcelona are both gearing up for Saturday night’s Champions League Final in the knowledge that a win will secure them a trophy treble.

The Italian and Spanish champions have already secured their domestic leagues and cups in impressive campaigns and know that only 90 minutes (plus potential extra-time and penalty-kicks) stand in the way of continental glory. The clash will see Massimiliano Allegri and Luis Enrique face off in Berlin’s Olympiastadion and will throw up some interesting duels between the likes of Lionel Messi and Leonardo Bonucci and Carlos Tevez and Gerard Pique.

The Catalans are widely seen as favourites to lift the iconic trophy, but Juve are by no means out of the running after dispatching of Real Madrid in the semi-finals to ruin any hopes of a Clasico bout on the biggest stage.

The crunch match kicks off at 19:45 this Saturday and we at Football FanCast will be providing updates and commentary in our Live Blog in association with William Hill –check out Willam Hill’s fantastic football betting odds!

    Juventus play in an Italian league noted for its technical ability; they will have a game plan and the players to carry it out – and Barcelona have failed in the past against Italian opposition in the Champions’ League final.

    Having said that, Barcelona have a new attacking trio, and a slightly different approach. I hope they win – and with style – because I much prefer the positive to the negative, attack rather than defence.
