ON TOP Juventus have ended in first place in the Champions League group stage in four of the last five seasons.
RECORD GOALS VS BARCA Juventus are the first Italian side ever to score 3+ away goals against Barcelona in UEFA competition (AC Milan did it on a neutral field, in the 1994 Champions League final).
CRISTIANO VS BARCA Camp Nou is now the stadium where Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the most away goals in his career (14 goals). He also scored his 20th goal against Barcelona, even if those were the first two netted against this opponent in a Champions League match. In addition, CR7 scored his third brace against Barcelona in all competitions (previously in February 2013 in Copa del Rey and in October 2012 in LaLiga).
WES WE CAN Weston McKennie is the fourth youngest foreign player to ever score a Champions League goal with Juventus (22 years, 102 days), after Paul Pogba, Marko Pjaca and Paulo Dybala.
GIGI! Gianluigi Buffon is the second player in the Champions League history to play a match at the age of 42 years (after Marco Ballotta). His outing vs Barcelona was his 17th different season in the UEFA Champions League, only three players have played in more (20 Casillas, 19 Giggs, 18 Cristiano Ronaldo). The shot-stopper is now the oldest player to play a Champions League game against Barcelona (42 years, 314 days), overtaking Edwin van der Sar (40 years, 211 days in May 2011 with Manchester United).
