Madrid star believes he has worked out a formula
for Juventus to use in order to keep the Barcelona
attack quiet on Saturday
Former Manchester United goal machine Ruud van
Nistelrooy has offered Juventus some advice on
how to stop Barcelona's fabled front three in this
weekend's Champions League final.
Luis Enrique's men are favourites for the clash in
Berlin mainly thanks to their all-star front three of
Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar who have
broken all kinds of scoring records this season.
"I have found the secret to stop them and it could
be good information for their opponents," Van
Nistelrooy told Goal at the #ChampionTheMatch
event organized by Heineken in Mexico City.
"I think the only way to stop Messi, Neymar and
Suarez is to block the other eight players of the
team. You must stop the passes coming into
them.
"When Neymar, Suarez and Messi are functioning,
Barcelona have the best attack in the world."
Van Nistelrooy enjoyed an illustrious career,
scoring almost 400 goals for club and country as
he starred for the likes of Manchester United, Real
Madrid and PSV.
The Dutchman commented on the decision by his
former club United to allow Juventus star Pogba to
leave for Italy on a free transfer in 2012.
"It is easy to say it was a mistake in hindsight," he
noted.
"If you see the player that he has became, then
obviously United should never have let him go, but
when he left he was very young. A team makes its
decisions and sometimes it can go the other way."
The former striker also revealed his favourite team-
mates from his career as well as his toughest
opponents.
"I played against so many good defenders in my
career, the best I remember playing against were
Milan's backline of Cafu, Jaap Stam, Alessandro
Nesta, Paolo Maldini and Dida. They were the
strongest," he stated.
"The best partnership I had in attack was with Raul
at Real Madrid or with Luc Nilis at PSV. Paul
Scholes made be a better player and striker at
Manchester United."
