Massimo Allegri’s Juventus will on Tuesday night clash with real Madrid at home in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final match.
Allegri’s men will no question have revenge on their minds as they arrive up against the Los Blancos that defeated them in previous yr’s final.
it's miles a repeat of the 2017 final and the home facet will be hoping for an improved display in opposition to Zinedine Zidane’s guys on the Allianz Stadium as they try to capture the advantage ahead of the second leg on April 11.
while Juventus and real Madrid met in Cardiff last June, the Spaniards inflicted a crushing defeat at the Italians to lift the Champions League trophy.
the game finished 4-1 as Cristiano and Co. wrote their names into the history books with the aid of turning into the primary ever crew to win back-to-back titles within the present day era.
Midfielder, Miralem Pjanic is serving a suspension and Federico Bernardeschi is surely out with an injury, however Mario Mandzukic could play.
Mehdi Benatia is suspended for the game, even as Alex Sandro is a doubt as he recovers from harm, which means there will be some reshuffling in defence.
meanwhile, Zinedine Zidane’s real Madrid heads into the game on form after defeating Las Palmas 3-0 in an away la Liga fixture at the weekend, thanks to Gareth Bale brace and Karim Benzema goal.
Zidane’s guys are on the hunt for a 3rd successive Champions League title and an away victory might set them up well for the tie’s decisive sport on the Santiago Bernabeu.
other than defender, Nacho, who's the only real doubt, the Los Blancos has no injury issues ahead of the clash.

Buffon; De Sciglio, Chiellini, Barzagli, Lichtsteiner; Khedira, Matuidi, Marchisio, Dybala, Cuadrado, Higuain.
