For the first time in seven years, Real Madrid and Juventus will clash on Europe’s biggest stage in front of a packed Santiago Bernabéu.
The two European giants have shared plenty of Champions League battles over the years, dating back to their first bout in 1962. None were bigger than their clash in 2017, though, when Real Madrid defeated Juventus to become the first and only team in history to win back-to-back Champions League titles.
Much has changed since that night in Cardiff for both teams. When Real Madrid and Juventus met this summer in the FIFA Club World Cup round of 16, the iconic clubs were full of new faces, both on the pitch and the touchline.
Since Los Blancos’ 1–0 victory in July, Xabi Alonso’s men have gone on to win 10 of their next 12 matches. The Old Lady, meanwhile, currently find themselves without a win in their last six matches ahead of their all-important trip to the Spanish capital.
