Pavel Nedved: Barcelona are a tough rival, but they are not unbeatable

Former Juventus player Pavel Nedved admitted that Barcelona are the favourites for the Champions League final, but refused to rule out a win for the Italian champions. 

Among other compliments, he was full of admiration for Barça's front three. Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez's connection has been one of the highlights of the Catalan side's season so far. 

Nedved likes them all, but believes they can be halted.

"Messi is from another planet," he marvelled. "Neymar has become one of the best Brazilian players of all time and Luis Suarez has mixed well [with them]; he is always in the right place at the right time. 

"But all of them, without excpetion, can be stopped. Our confidence has grown and we are not just going to Berlin to participate, that is not what Juve do. 

"Barça are great in attack. As for us, we have a defence that is just as strong. Our forwards can cause problems. You have to know how to read the game. 

"I say that FC Barcelona are the favourites and everyone expects them to win. That pressure that's going to be on them is incredible, though."
