UCL finals preview - Juventus vs. Real Madrid - Buffon against C. Ronaldo

Tonight is full of anticipation. I would be more than happy to witness a spectacular match of world class football. Which side will claim victory? Who will perform like a true MVP?

Certainly for few players this will be the final opportunity to win the coveted trophy during their careers. Juventus goalie Buffon is among those legendary prospects aspiring to carve their names to the history books. Younger starlets such as Argentinian Dybala seem to be motivated to turn the tables for his team. Real Madrid for the other hand seem to hold the favorite position in this match up. Even though the team is missing prolific winger Bale, Ronaldo should in his superb Champions League form be almost unstoppable. 

It will be interesting to see the worlds best offensive fullbacks clash against each other, namely Juve's Dani Alves and Madrid's Marcelo, who both excelled in the CL this season. 

Other seeming rivalries include Alvaro Morata and Gonzalo Higuain. It will remain to be seen whether Khedira is able to join this fight against his former club. 

It would seem that both Juve and Real will rely on their strengths. Juventus will focus on solid defense and rolling counter-attacks where as Real will be forced to keep possession.


What to watch -

Buffon goalkeeper mastery
Attacking fullbacks
