5 reasons why Juventus will win the UEFA Champions League 2018/19

4) A midfield full of energy

The engine and the pivot: Blaise Matuidi and Miralem Pjanic

What does a manager do when his midfield has a player like Miralem Pjanic? He sits back at ease and watches the game. Undoubtedly the most important player in Allegri's system, Miralem Pjanic has become even better than what he was at Roma, a couple of seasons ago.

His ability to read the game, playing as the pivot and control it with his vision, is almost exemplary. Besides that, he can score amazing goals from set pieces too. Sami Khedira is a veteran who knows very well how to open up defences with his long passes.

Juventus bagged the bargain of the transfer market when they signed Blaise Matuidi last season from PSG for only £18 million. Matuidi was instrumental to the French team which won the World Cup earlier this year and his energy, coupled with his work rate, makes him really difficult for the opposition to handle. Emre Can, the new recruit from Liverpool, is also an exciting prospect to watch whenever he is on the ball, however, he has not been playing due to health issues.

Rodrigo Bentancur is the new sensation of the Bianconeri. He can change the game within the blink of an eye and he sits deep, allowing Matuidi to go forward and Joao Cancelo to overlap. He will be very vital to the team's run up to the title.
