Real Madrid vs Juventus Match Prediction
Real Madrid and Juventus renew one of European football’s most storied rivalries in their 22nd meeting in the competition’s history.
Their encounters have often proven decisive, with the winner of this tie going on to lift the Champions League in three of the last four occasions.
Xabi Alonso’s Madrid come into the clash in dominant form — top of the Champions League table, prolific in attack, and unbeatable at home this season.
Juventus, meanwhile, remain unbeaten but inconsistent under Igor Tudor, showing attacking intent yet defensive vulnerability after two high-scoring draws in this year's competition.
With Madrid’s control, Mbappé’s lethal form, and the Bernabéu’s intimidating record against Italian sides, Los Blancos are expected to assert their authority once again, though Juventus’ counterattacking threat could test them.
Score Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Juventus
