Sergio Busquets: 'Juventus do not play good football'

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets says that Juventus are "very difficult to beat" ahead of Saturday's Champions League final.

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has claimed that Juventus reached the Champions League final by "being very difficult to beat" rather than by playing exciting football.

On Saturday, the champions of Spain will face the champions of Italy in the final of the European Cup, with the victors completing a treble this season.

Busquets is not a supporter of Juve's style, but has praised the Serie A champions for their effectiveness.

"Juventus have not reached the final by playing well or scoring a lot," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"But they deserve to be here, they're a compact team and very difficult to beat. Until December, they were in trouble in the group. Then over time they showed they were prepared to go all the way.

"It's always like that with Italian teams, they're competitive, they know what they want and they know how to get it. In a final, it's winning that counts, it's not the style of play that people remember. We know how difficult it is and it would be nice to win, which is what counts."

Barcelona have won the European Cup on four occasions.
