A stormy week passes for the Barcelona football club.
Just yesterday, the president, who has served since 2014, Josep Maria Bartomeu, resigned, and now the team is playing in Turin in the second round of the Champions League home stage, against a not-so-simple rival - Juventus.
What should make it a little easier for Leo Messi and his gang is the fact that the Italians' biggest star, Cristiano Ronaldo, is not playing tonight because his corona tests are still returning positive.
CR7 expressed his opinion earlier today when he wrote "Corona tests are bullshit".
As you may recall, before the loss in the Clasico in the league, Barcelona easily defeated Frantzvaros 1: 5 in the previous round, with five different players scoring the team's five goals.
During the game the brakeman and captain Gerard Pique received a direct red and was sent off, and therefore could not play tonight either.
Those not yet on the roster are the injured Coutinho, Omititi and Ter Stegen.
Juventus also won in the opening round, 0: 2 against Dynamo Kiev, a pair of Albero Murata.
It then ended in a draw in the league against Verona, and tonight will try to get back on the winning track.

Juventus:
Wojciech Szczesny, Danilo, Leonardo Bonucci, Smell Demiral, Adrian Ravio, Rodrigo Bentancor, Juan Cuadrado, Diane Kolosevsky, Aron Ramsey, Albero Murata and Paolo Dybala.
