Souness: Barcelona will have their hands full with Juventus

Juventus have the ability to cause Barcelona plenty of headaches in the Champions League final next month.

The Italian giants qualified for their first European cup final since 2003 by beating reigning champions Real Madrid 3-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals following the 1-1 second leg draw on Wednesday night.

When assessing the June 6 final with Barcelona in Berlin, Graeme Souness believes that Luis Enrique's side will be in for a really tough grind against Massimiliano Allegri's united group.

"Barcelona will be looking at this tonight and thinking: 'We will have our hands full with this lot'," Souness said on Sky Sports after the match.

Real struck first through Cristiano Ronaldo's 23rd-minute penalty at the Santiago Bernabeu before Alvaro Morata netted against his former club on 57 minutes to give the Bianconeri a 3-2 aggregate win.
