Will Barcelona do it again?

Giants looking to battle back against Juve

Game of the night on Wednesday goes at the Camp Nou where two pillars of football play to a finish in the second-leg of their Champions League quarter final. Juventus jet into Spain with a three-goal cushion tucked away in their luggage, more than enough to see off most opponents at this level. But this is Barca, and they’re certainly not most opponents.

Looking lame and ready to be put out of their misery, you’d expect punters to come flooding in on Coral’s 19/4 about another Juventus win, but it has not happened. Barcelona can never be written off with any real confidence, and judging by their heroics in the last round, a three-goal lead won’t be anywhere near enough.

They overturned four against PSG

Luis Enrique’s side created a little bit of Champions League history in the round of 16, when overturning a four-goal margin to knock French cracks PSG out of the competition on a nail-biting night at this venue last month. Trailing 4-0 from the initial encounter, they battled back to win 6-1 on their own patch, and sneak through 6-5 on aggregate.

Suarez opened the scoring with just three-minutes on the clock, and that set the pace for what lay ahead. A Cavani reply on the hour-mark looked to have finished a rampant Barca off, but they were not to be denied, with Sergi scoring a wonder strike deep into stoppage-time at the end of the match to send his employers through.

That would’ve taken it out of everyone in the home dressing room, both emotionally and physically, but they now have to do it all again. The locals to qualify is as big as 9/2 with Coral, and that looks just about right.
