Dani Alves keen for Juventus to avoid 'strange' Barcelona tie

Juventus defender Dani Alves would prefer to avoid playing former club Barcelona in the Champions League, unless they meet in the final.

The 33-year-old left the LaLiga champions last year to join Juve, having enjoyed a trophy-laden eight seasons at Barca.

"I don't want to play Barcelona. It would be too strange for me," Alves told beIN Sports.

"If I have to play Barca, I'd prefer it to be in the final."
