Real Madrid vs Juventus: 5 reasons why Los Blancos will win the Champions League final

#3 Marcelo and Carvajal negating the effects of Dani Alves and Alex Sandro

Dani Alves and Alex Sandro vs Marcelo and Dani Carvajal.

While many people will be looking forward to the battle between Ronaldo and Dybala, the match will most probably be won by the flying full-backs for their respective sides. While Alves and Sandro have been simply brilliant for Juventus this season, the one full-back pairing which is probably better than that of Juventus is Marcelo and Carvajal.

Blessed with boundless energy, Marcelo’s continuous foray forwards will definitely keep Dani Alves occupied while Carvajal’s defensive solidity will help in cutting out Alex Sandro’s incisive passes and crosses.

Alves, in particular, can cause plenty of havoc while going forward and with Ronaldo and Marcelo to contend with, the Juventus star might just have too much on his hands defensively to focus on the attacking part.

The battle between the two best full-back pairings in world football at the moment will definitely make for compelling viewing tonight.
