Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has insisted that Juventus will need to play an adroit counter-attacking game if they are to beat Barcelona in the 2015 Champions League final.
United were on the receiving end of a humbling defeat when they tried to play Barcelona at their own game in 2011, and Scholes has suggested that Juve will instead need to defend well and look to attack on the break if they are to stand a chance of winning.
"I don't see any alternative for Juventus," Scholes wrote in his column for the Independent.
"You try to beat this Barcelona team at their own game and, over the course of 10 games, you lose every time. Defend against them and then counter-attack, and perhaps you win once or twice in 10."
"It is not a pleasant reality to have to face but it is one that you must accept if you are to have a chance of winning a final against Barcelona."
The Old Lady will be seeking to claim their first Champions League crown since 1996 when they face Barca in Berlin on Saturday night.
