Gonzalo Higuain has never managed to score against Barcelona at Camp Nou, can he do so for Juventus tonight?
The Bianconeri won 3-0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final, but Pipita missed two good chances, a header in the first half and a one-on-one which led to the corner which brough the third goal.
Despite his stellar goalscoring record, Higuain has been accused of bottling big moments in big games, with critics pointing to his misses for Argentina in the World Cup and Copa America finals.
In addition, he missed a crucial penalty against Lazio in 2014-15 which could have taken Napoli into the Champions League.
A former Real Madrid striker, Higuain has faced Barcelona 19 times, coming off the bench on eight of those appearances.
However, the 29-year-old has managed just three goals against the Blaugrana, and has never scored at Camp Nou.
In 2008-09 and 2009-10 he started for Los Merengues in the away Clasico, but failed to find the back of the net as Madrid were beaten 2-0 then 1-0.
In addition, Higuain’s overall record in the Champions League is just 16 goals in 63 games.
Contrast that to his League form, which has brought 213 goals in 361 games across his career.
Coach Massimiliano Allegri has warned that Juve need to score at Camp Nou tonight, can Pipita finally break his duck?
