Juventus to face Barcelona, Sporting and Olympiacos in the Champions League

Juventus will face Barcelona, Olympiacos and Sporting Lisbon in the group stages of the Champions League.

The Bianconeri were top seeds and have been handed a tough task to qualify top of Group D. They’ll face Barcelona again, having already beaten the Blaugrana in the quarter-finals last season on their way to the final.

They’ll also have to face Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon who qualified with a 5-1 victory over FCSB yesterday, while Olympiacos are relatively recent visitors to Turin where they were beaten 3-2 when Juve progressed to the final in 2015.
