Massimiliano Allegri is confident that his Juventus side can spoil Xavi Hernandez's swansong by beating Barcelona in the Champions League final next month.
The legendary midfielder, 35, will represent the Catalans one last time in a competitive outing in Berlin on June 6 before joining Qatari side Al Sadd.
Although Allegri admits that Xavi is an "extraordinary" talent, the Italian hopes that the Bianconeri can mar his curtain call.
"It will be the last game for Xavi, an extraordinary player for Barcelona and the Spanish national team, but we hope to spoil the party," he told reporters.
"Barca have three great players in attack in Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez and they have Andres Iniesta dictating the pace in midfield."
Juventus edged out Real Madrid over two legs to reach the showpiece, while Barca beat Bayern Munich.
