Real Madrid vs Juventus Preview

When this draw was made Juventus would have been delighted that they were given an early chance to avenge their loss in last season’s final and continue their quest to finally win a Champions League crown.

However, they were outclassed in the first leg 0-3 by Los Merenges and they now face an almost impossible task to turn it around in Madrid.
