Liverpool and West Ham keen on prying defender away from Juventus
After an early goal by Ivan Rakitic, Juventus has managed to hold on and stay in the game, thanks to a spectacular save by goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
Toward the end of the first half, the game became somewhat brutal as Juventus players became angry with the officials.
An incident had occurred where defender Stephan Lichtsteiner drove his foot toward a Barcelona player before he was lightly pushed, and he spun in midair before falling to the ground.
Lichtsteiner proceeded to act like he was in pain, but he was able to get up shortly after and play with no issue.
This indicates that the defender was likely flopping on that play, and Juventus is clearly doing whatever it takes to win as they remain clear underdogs against Barcelona.
Here is a video for viewers to decide whether Lichtsteiner flopped on this play.
