Juventus v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Final
Juventus and Real Madrid will reignite their European rivalry

#3 Gonzalo Higuain vs Sergio Ramos

Real Madrid v Galatasaray - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final
Teammates to rivals

Former teammates will go head to head for the second time in as many weeks after fighting it out in the international friendly that went in Spain's way. Gonzalo Higuain will spearhead Juventus' attack against Real Madrid and up against him will be Madrid's captain Sergio Ramos.

Ramos has historically done well against the traditional no.9s of the game but cannot afford to take Higuain lightly. Despite the constant criticisms against the striker, Higuain usually finds his way among the goals and has done that this season as well.

Higuain has 5 European goals to his name this season - his best ever tally in Europe. Real Madrid will need to keep the striker in check and have to mark him with fine detailing to avoid him having a go at Keylor Navas.
