No team has ever defended their Champion’s League trophy in its current format. History, it seems, would be rewritten on Saturday evening.
In the Massimiliano Allegri versus Zinedine Zidane contest, the French legend wins hands down. He has a far superior horoscope that shows that he has it in him to be the first coach to win consecutive Champions League trophies.
It would be Europe’s best defence team versus the best attack. The Portuguese Talisman Cristiano Ronaldo and his Real Madrid team-mates against the rock-solid Juventus. The Turin club has come a long way from their relegation in 2006. But they are against a set of superstar players who have extraordinary horoscopes starting from captain Sergio Ramos to goalie Keylor Navas. The Real Madrid players have real chances to break the barriers of the strong defence of Juventus and produce heart-stopping goal(s).
This is the only trophy that has eluded the superhero of Juventus’ resurrection; Gianluigi Buffon. The much-loved legend has seen the pain of losing two Champions League finals. In all probabilities, this will be the third one.
