PREDICTION
Tonight sees the repeat of last season’s Champions League final as Juventus play host to Real Madrid in the first leg of their quarter-final clash. The Italian giants will undoubtedly have revenge on their minds after suffering defeat in Cardiff last June.

You could argue that neither side are quite at the level they were in getting to the final last season but at the same time you cannot write either club off in terms of who will go on to be kings of Europe come the end of May.

Real Madrid seem to be finding their stride as of late and although their defence of the La Liga title has been almost non-existent this season, they will fancy their chances of winning this competition for a third year in a row. They travelled to Paris in the previous round and picked up an away win, something they are just as capable of doing in Turin this evening.
