Juventus midfielder Caludio Marchisio feels that Carlos Tevez will be the key for his side as they prepare to face Barcelona in the final of the Champions League in Berlin on 6th June.
The Old Lady have already won the domestic double of the league title and the Coppa Italia and a win for them in Berlin would secure them their third European Cup and with it a historic treble.
For Massimiliani Allegri’s side, Tevez has been an influential presence in the first team, having scored 29 goals and assisted a further nine in all competitions this season.
And Marchisio feels that the Argentine could be the deciding factor for his side when they face the Catalan giants in Berlin.
"Carlos Tevez has been exceptional since he joined us”, the midfielder was quoted as saying by the BBC.

"He has not created any problems; he has been humble and available for everybody.
“He is one of the main strengths of our squad and is an important pillar. He will be fundamental on Saturday.”
Their rivals in the final, Barcelona, have also won their domestic double and are vying for their second treble in six years. Riding on the heroic performances of their prolific forward trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, the Catalan giants will be hot favourites to secure their fifth European Cup.
And Marchisio has urged his team to stay focused in order to counter Barcelona’s attacking threat.
"We need to stay focused; we know we face a good Barcelona team and three exceptional strikers who have scored 120 goals between them, a record in Spain.
“We need to prepare well for the match.”
