5 reasons why Real Madrid will beat Juventus in the Champions League quarterfinal first-leg

#4 Zidane knows how to expose Juventus’ vulnerability against pace and high-pressing

Juventus v Tottenham Hotspur - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg

Last time these 2 sides met less than a year ago, Real Madrid destroyed Juventus in the final of the same competition thanks to a brilliant second-half display. Madrid pressed Juventus aggressively higher up the pitch, forcing dangerous turnovers and denying Juventus time on the ball.

Also, Tottenham Hotspur troubled Juventus with their high-pressing style in the round of 16 but lacked the big game experience to win it. Zidane will most likely deploy the same tactics on Tuesday.

At the back, Juventus are already without the suspended centre-back Mehdi Benatia while the left-back Sandro is still a doubt. A patched-up Juventus back line will find it hard to stop the star-studded Real Madrid side. Also, the pace of Marcelo, Gareth Bale, and Cristiano Ronaldo will cause them a lot of trouble on the flanks.
