#4 Superior bench strength
Juventus have one of the biggest and best squads in Europe, but even the Old Lady’s squad depth pales in comparison to Real Madrid’s star-studded bench. With the likes of Bale, James Rodriguez, Morata, Kovacic and Marco Asensio to call on from the bench, Zidane has a plethora of options to impact the game and turn it in his side’s favour.
While the Serie A champions themselves have players like Marchisio and Lemina on the bench, there is no arguing as to who has the better bench strength. With Isco, most likely to start tonight, Bale will be fresh and itching to make an impact in the final.
Add to the fact that it is his hometown, the Welshman will be definitely be determined to have a telling impact if he gets the chance. Real Madrid have a bench which is full of players who would be starters in any other team and this might well make a telling difference in a gruelling and taxing final like this one.
