Barcelona, Juventus to each wear home kits in Champions League final

Teams: Check. Referee: Check. Colours: Also check.

All the boxes continue to be marked off ahead of the Champions League final on June 6 in Berlin.

After learning that the trophy will be hoisted by either Barcelona or Juventus, and that Turkish official Cuneyt Cakir will oversee the contest, we were informed Tuesday that the two clubs will take the pitch at the Olympiastadion wearing their traditional colours.

By virtue of their respective home kits not clashing, Barcelona and Juventus will both be able to wear their iconic striped uniforms next month, when the eyes of the football world will be upon them.

Perfect, and just as it was when these two sides last met, in the quarterfinals of the 2002-03 Champions League.
