Champions League final preview, tips and live scores: Juventus v Real Madrid

Juventus - Real live

The 2017 final is a repeat of the 1998 showpiece (Real Madrid v Juventus 1-0, Mijatovic). Holders Real Madrid aim to be the first team to retain the UEFA Champions League title while Juventus is seeking their third European crown.

Juventus v Real Madrid

Juventus and Madrid contest 62nd European Cup. Real is an 11-time winner of the Champions League; Juventus have two titles (1985 and 1996).

Interesting facts:

  • Felix Brych appointed referee for Cardiff decider.
  • Real Madrid have won all five of their UEFA Champions League finals, a record number of wins. Juve have lost the fixture more times than any other club (4). Actually, their only victory was on the penalty shootout against Ajax in 1996.
  • Juventus have won 9 and drawn 3 of their 12 games in this season’s competition. If they lift the trophy they will be the first unbeaten side since Manchester United FC in 2007/08.
  • Gianluigi Buffon (40) is the sole survivor of Juventus’s 2003 final appearance in their 2016/17 squad.

The match preview continues under the Match Center.

Juventus are unbeaten in the competition while Real is definitely the most experienced team at this stage. This will be a classic encounter and I hope it will stay in history. I have been mentioning the whole year that the team Alegri has built is exactly what is needed to win the trophy and complete the treble. But Real is the only team that I did not want in the final and I had to cash out my bet on this year’s winner.

Prediction: I expect a draw and Juventus to win the trophy in the extra time or at the penalty shootout. I have backed the draw at 3.10 and the 1-1 Correct Score at 5.50 with bet365. Should Pjanic also score the first goal, it will be a ‘dream’. Not that it wasn’t…

Possible line-ups (suspensions and injuries)
Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanić; Dani Alves, Dybala, Mandžukić; Higuaín.
Out: Sturaro (thigh), Pjaca (knee)

Real Madrid: Navas; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Modrić, Casemiro, Kroos, Isco (30% Bale); Benzema, Ronaldo.
