Björn Kuipers will take charge of Wednesday's game at Camp Nou

Barça need to produce another comeback after losing the first leg 3-0

The referee chosen for Bacelona - Juventus is Björn Kuipers. The official will take charge of Wednesday's game at Camp Nou and will therefore be the man who oversees Barça's attempt to record another remarkable comeback and reach the semi-final of the Champions League.

Dutch referee Björn Kuipers has been on the international stage since 2006. He has refereed Barça in the Champions League and was also awared the 2013/14 final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. 

It will be the sixth time he's taken charge of a Barcelona game in the Champions League, with the last one being the 1-1 draw with Roma last season, when Rafinha picked up an injury. 

Prior to that, Kuipers had refereed two Barcelona wins, two draws and one defeat, the 1-0 loss to Celtic in 2012. None of the games he has overseen before welcome much optimisim as the Catalan side look to turn around a 3-0 first leg loss to Juve.
