Juventus head to Madrid with a good chance of making the Champions League final and continue their hunt for the elusive treble. Their most influential player, Andrea Pirlo, is conscious of their chances: “We are so close to the final that we want to go all the way, as to win would be a dream come true for me and my team-mates. Real are one of the most important teams in the world and we know how crucial the first-leg win was for us.” A top football betting expert knows that since Real managed the away goal with Ronaldo they have a good chance of going through as long as they don’t concede a goal to Juventus on the break. The Italian side have recovered their French midfielder, Paul Pogba even if only for the bench, but Real too will have Toni Kroos on the bench from the start. A top football betting expert believes that if Real’s manager insists on playing Sergio Ramos in midfield, as he did away in Turin, the Blancos risk getting knocked out as the Spaniard was disastrous in the first leg match.
Our probable formations:
Real Madrid (4.3.3.) Casillas, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Rodriguez, Kroos, Isco, Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo.
Juventus (4.3.1.2) Buffon, Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra, Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio, Vidal, Morata and Tevez.
