PARIS: Former champions Juventus and Barcelona on Tuesday reached the lucrative Champions League group stage after safely negotiating away second legs in their final qualifiers.
Both the Italians and the Catalan club had cruised to respective 4-0 wins over Slovakia's Artmedia Petrzalka and Poland's Wisla Krakow on their own turf - but Barca was sluggish in going down 1-0 on the night to a goal from Brazilian Cleber early in the second half.
