Barcelona are unchanged from last weekend's Copa del Rey final for tonight's Champions League final against Juventus in Berlin.

For Juve, Andrea Barzagli comes in for the injured Giorgio Chiellini at centre-back. Chiellini misses out with a calf strain.

Either of the teams will win the treble with victory tonight. Barcelona having won the La Liga title and the Copa del Rey, while Juventus won Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

In the most shocking moment of the 2014 World Cup, Suarez bit Giorgio Chiellini during Italy's 1-0 defeat by Uruguay.

The bite earned Suarez a nine-match and four-month ban from all football activity, meaning that when he joined Barcelona from Liverpool for £75m in July of that year he could not be officially unveiled, and was only allowed to train with his new team-mates after appeal.

TEAMS

Juventus: Buffon, Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Evra, Marchisio, Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal, Tevez, Morata.

Barcelona: TerStegen, Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi, Suarez, Neymar.
