The UEFA Champions league draw has been made, on Tuesday 5th of May, Juventus would be welcoming Real Madrid to the Stadio Olimpico. Madrid who are the defending champion of this competition are seeking to set a record as the first team to win the competition back to back, a feat no club can lay claim to. Juventus on the other hand has been finding it difficult to make a mark in the Champions league after being relegated to the Serie B, the then coach, Antonio Conte has been dominating their domestic league, but has not been able to replicate such form in Europe. Juventus has claimed the 2014/2015 Scudetto, but have chosen to postpone their celebration because of this mouth watering tie. The last time they found themselves at this stage was in the 2002/2003 season. The two teams will be seeking inspiration from their talisman players.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been able to put an end to his goal drought at their last La Liga outing against Sevilla, where he scored all the three goals to keep them closer to their bitter rival (Barcelona). Carlos Tevez has played a leading role for the Old Ladies this season, scoring lot of goals to bring them this far. The two teams would be without the services of some key players like Luca Modric, Karim Benzema, Paul Pogba.
Possible lineup: Juventus: Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Evra, Morata, Tevez.(3-5-2).
Real Madrid: Casillas, Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo, Isco, Kroos, James, Bale, Chicharito, Ronaldo.(4-3-3).

What a wonderful way to describe a mouth-watering tournament between two great clubs with different pedigree of players.
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for CR7 to carry the day. However, I would also like to see the predatory instinct of Tevez at the field of play.
So unfortunate Madrid lost
