It Will Enter

Capello has decisions to make after the Milan debacle. Goalkeeper Christian Abbiati has a minor knee ailment but may not be preferred to Antonio Chimenti after his howler in Munich. Patrick Vieira will start and resume his midfield partnership with Emerson.

With Roque Santa Cruz out for the rest of the season with cruciate knee ligament damage, Bayern will turn to Peruvian Claudio Pizarro for goals. "We saw enough from Claudio in Köln on Saturday to be confident he’s heading in the right direction," said defender Wily Sagnol before the game. However, with doubts remaining about the current state of the Bayern frontline, the Germans will be hoping that midfielders such as Michael Ballack and Martin Demichelis can weigh in from deeper positions.


POSSIBLE LINE-UPS

Juventus: Chimenti; Blasi, Thuram, F. Cannavaro, Zambrotta; Camoranesi, Vieira, Emerson, Nedved; Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet.

Bayern: Kahn; Sagnol, Lucio, Ismael, Schweinsteiger; Demichelis; Deisler, Zé Roberto - Ballack; Makaay, Pizarro.
