Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini says that Barcelona's attacking trident of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez "may seem unstoppable," but that the Bianconeri will hatch a plan to tame them in the Champions League final.
Man-to-man marking is not the way to do it, says the Italy international, who will therefore not be given orders to keep close to Suarez -- the man who bit him in last summer's World Cup -- or either of his partners in Barca's formidable front line.
"You just can't man-mark Messi, Neymar and Suarez," Chiellini told Mediaset television. "The only way of stopping them is by defending as a team.
"They may seem unstoppable, but we're going to study the game well. It's not only about them, but about a great side who manage to get their forwards into positions to hurt you a lot, but with the quality we've got, we will be able to limit them."
Instead, the Italian defender feels that Barca should be equally concerned with how they are going to stop Juve, whose march to the final may not have been widely expected but is still fully deserved, according to the Pisa-born defender.
Chiellini is looking forward to the occasion, something he would dream about when he was growing up.
"This Juve side are really tough to beat, for anybody," he said. "The Champions League puts you up against the best players in the world and the atmosphere's unique. You feel emotions that you don't get from other games.
"Ever since I was a child, I would hear that famous music and the first time you are there in person, it gives you such a rush of adrenaline. It's become a battle cry for us."
According to Juve midfielder Stefano Sturaro, who made his Champions League debut in the semifinal against Real Madrid, there is no inferiority complex in the Juve camp.
"If we've got all the way to Berlin, then that must mean we're on the same level as them," he told Sky Sport Italia. "We've grown a lot. They have the best players in the world, but that doesn't make us think we're outsiders.
"We'll play the game on a par with them and anything can happen in a one-off match. Our team spirit and compactness could make the difference."
