Former Brazil and AC Milan full-back Cafu thinks that Barcelona will have a difficult time against Juventus in the Champions League final, contrary to popular belief.
The Bianconeri are preparing for their first European final since their defeat to a Milan side featuring Cafu in 2003 and are hoping to avoid a record sixth defeat in the final and Cafu believes that Massimilliano Allegri’s men can overcome the odds.
“I am expecting a very tough final,” the 44-year-old told Sky Sport Italia.
“So many people think it will be an easy final for Barcelona but for me it won’t be because Juventus will put up a fierce struggle and the game will be difficult for the Catalans.
“Juventus can also win it if they play like they have been playing up until now.
“Tactically, Juve are perfect squad, they don’t give space to their opponents and they strike so quickly on the counter attack, if they play this way, they can win.”
Turning his attentions to Barca’s Brazilians, Neymar and Dani Alves, he admitted he rates them highly and that the latter could do well for his former side, Milan.
“Neymar is so good, I always cheer for him, it will be a beautiful game to see him in.
“Dani Alves to Milan? He is one of the greats and one of the strongest full-backs around, he has won everything and could do well at Milan.”
