UEFA Champions League 2017/18: Juventus vs Real Madrid - 5 key player battles

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

#2 Paulo Dybala vs Casemiro

Juventus v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Final
Paulo Dybala is Juventus', main man

Dybala is to Juventus what Cristiano Ronaldo is to Real Madrid. Make no mistake about it. With 21 goals to his name this season, the Argentine trequartista is having his best campaign in terms of productivity.

The man assigned to negate Dybala's influence will be Real Madrid's Casemiro. He has done the needful time and again for Madrid and Zidane will now again look to the defensive midfielder to man-mark Dybala and keep him in check.

Dybala's quick feet and his link-up play can trouble Real Madrid but if Casemiro plays up to his strengths then the Argentine will have a long night to endure. This player battle has all the looks of an exciting duel which can surely decide the final outcome of the first leg.
