Real Madrid – Juventus is considered the main match of Wednesday in the Champions League. This match takes place at the “Santiago Bernabeu” from 21:00. It belongs to the third round of the Champions League phase.
Xabi Alonso's team, Real Madrid, aims to continue with victories. In the first round they won 2:1 against Marseille, while in the second they defeated Kairat 5:0.
Juve achieved a dramatic 4-4 draw with Borussia Dortmund in the first round of the Champions League, making a great comeback in the last minutes. In the second round, they drew 2-2 with Villarreal.
The Madrid team is also in good form in La Liga. They won 1-0 against Getafe at the weekend. They hold first place with 24 points, two more than Barcelona.
The situation is different at Juventus. Igor Tudor's team suffered a 2-0 defeat at Como on the weekend. Juve have not won since September 13. They had drawn five games before their latest defeat. This winless streak has increased the pressure on Tudor.
"I expect a great reaction from my team. The motivation comes only from coming here, at the Bernabeu. I am confident that we will play a good match. Each team has its strengths and weaknesses. Madrid is a team that can score a goal at any moment. I want to see a good performance and a team that is able to hit the Madrid players, in a sporting sense," said Croatian Igor Tudor.
Alonso is aware of the crisis of the Turin team, but still expects a difficult match.
