Barcelona produced the greatest Champions League comeback in the last round, and they'll have to replicate that effort should they secure passage to the semi-finals.
But unlike Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus have a formidable and water tight defensive back-line.
Argentine sensation Paulo Dybala, who subsequently penned a new lucrative deal, churned out a brilliant performance as he bagged a brace in the first-half, followed by a header from Giorgio Chiellini to give Juventus a commanding lead ahead of the second leg, next week.
Though it was the second goal which really pissed off Barca coach Luis Enrique who went absolutely apeshit in his technical area, then on the touchline.
Speaking after the game, Enrique remained optimistic while accepting the responsibility for the defeat. "I'm an optimistic person. But I take responsibility for this. I'm the coach and the buck stops at me."
Can they repeat history? He continues to add; "If we play as well as we can, we can score four goals against anyone."
Enrique's charge's, yet again, showed their defensive frailties on Tuesday night having conceded three goals, which was also underlined in Paris when PSG slotted four past them.

Barcelona will seek to complete another classic comeback as they trail by three goals when they welcome Juventus next Wednesday night.
