Real Madrid will be taking on Juventus in the Champions League final this season which will be played on Sunday 4th of June, 2017 at the National Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The Galacticos will be looking to become the first team in history to defend their title successfully, while the Bianconeri will be looking to lift the 3rd Champions League title in their history.
A number of players will adorn the pitch on the night of this Grand Finale, including arguably the greatest goalkeeper in the history of Italian football Gianluigi Buffon, who will be playing his last match for the Bianconeri and the four-time Balon D’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the talismanic forward for the Galacticos. Apart from them, an array of many other in-form players will be set to test their mettle against each other on the night of the final at Cardiff.
Both the teams will look to get the better of each other, as the football fans all over the world will be treated with some mouth-watering clashes such as the following ones-
Alex Sandro vs Isco-
Juventus have been defensively a very sound team and all their defenders have done their jobs with pinpoint perfection throughout the current tournament. The left back Alex Sandro has been at the top of his game and has marked the opponent players, restricting them from scoring goals. This time, he will be up against an in-form Isco, the Spaniard having been in superb form of late. It will undoubtedly be an enthralling battle between the two players.
Paulo Dybala vs Sergio Ramos-
The Spanish captain Sergio Ramos has always been inspiring his team with his dominant display on the field and looking to make it next to impossible for his opponents to get into a position to score goals in the attacking third. This time, however, he will be facing a stern challenge of marking the sensational Argentine Paolo Dybala, who has been in brilliant form and has been scoring prolifically throughout the season for his side.
Cristiano Ronaldo vs Leonardo Bonucci-
The Italian defender has been one of the highest rated centre-backs of the recent time and has been successful in marking the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr. This time he will be up against the Real Madrid talisman Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he has to keep at bay for his team to get a chance to lift the trophy, while Ronaldo will have to ensure that he gets past the Bianconeri defensive beast to make it a win for them.
