Juventus include Barzagli, Iniesta captains Barca

Juventus named Andrea Barzagli at centre-back for injury victim Giorgio Chiellini in their starting line-up for Saturday's Champions League final against Barcelona.

Chiellini tore his calf in training on Wednesday and his place goes to fellow Italy international Barzagli next to Leonardo Bonucci at the heart of the defence.

There were no surprises in the Barcelona team with captain Andres Iniesta named in Luis Enrique's starting line-up after brushing off a leg injury suffered in Barca's Spanish Cup final win last weekend.

Four-time world player of the year Lionel Messi can make history by becoming the first player to score in three Champions League finals.

He leads Barcelona's star-studded attack alongside Neymar and Luis Suarez and the trio are looking to add to their record haul of 120 goals between them this season.
