Barca's Messi starts Juventus clash on bench

Published on: 22 November 2017

Barcelona star Lionel Messi will start Wednesday's Champions League Group D clash against Juventus from the bench.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner played the full 90 minutes in Barca's 3-0 win at Leganes on Saturday, but will begin the match at the Allianz Stadium among the substitutes.

Messi has led the Blaugrana three points clear of Juve atop their Champions League group, scoring three goals in four matches thus far, including two against the Bianconeri in a 3-0 romp at the Camp Nou earlier this fall.
