Both the teams are having a superb run of form and will do the maximum to attain the prestigious trophy.Real Madrid trying to defend the title and to attain Duo Decima and Juventus trying to put their hands on the trophy after a loss in the finals in 2015.
We only know after the game who will put their mark on the trophy but here we are here gathering the probabilities for the Los Blancos to win the game bypassing Juventus for their much awaited La Duodecima.
There was a time this season where everyone thought Ronaldo's time has probably come to an end when he was struggling to score and to desperately establish in a game. But Zidane had faith in him and told he was storing his energy for big occasions. What we have been watching from him in the past month reminds us of what Zidane said.
He was phenomenal for the past two months. Considering the performance in UCL against clubs like Bayern Munich, Athletico Madrid hat-trick against both the clubs with a whopping 5 goals against Bayern is enough for any team in the world to fear his abilities.This recent rise of form might be cruicial for Real Madrid in the finals.
Real Madrid Midfield
This needs no introduction and probably the best midfield in the world right now with the likes of midfield maestros Toni Kroos and Luka Modric along with Isco and Casemiro into the mix can make things work for any team.
The recent success for Madrid in the league and the UCL has been undoubtedly the product of the sheer quality of the Madrid midfield. Considering this fact, Juventus has a lot to do to deny the quality of these players if they should have a chance to win the trophy.
The German is able to do wonders with the ball and could find anyone with his passing ability, no wonder he has a passing accuracy of nearly 94% this season.Also, Luka Modric with his with his playmaking abilities and Casemiro doing the dirty works are something, Juventus need to look out for.
Zidane's Tactical Masterclass
How many times have we seen Real Madrid coming from the behind and winning the game just after the half time talk and substitutions made by Zidane. Well, some might call it luck but i like to call it determination. Zidane as a player knows the situation very well similar to the players and the dressing room mentality of Zidane needs appraise.
With these star-studded players, he is able to keep most of them happy which may never work for any other team in the world. He also has the guts to do the right thing most managers out there won't dare to do. This confidence in his players is what makes them play until the last whistle of the game and how many times have they proved it to us.
This final is even special to him as he is facing his former club from which he came to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid squad depth
Real Madrid has by far the best squad in the world right now considering how many world class players they have with them.They are sure starters in any other team such is the quality of the players like Alvaro Morata ,James Rodriguez. This makes the squad fresh and can easily transfigure according to games ahead. This has been the key in the success in La Liga this season for the Los Blancos.
After so many years Real Madrid squad has the stability that they lacked for years. Thanks to Zidane for his contribution. Instead of spending more, he selected players form the Real Madrid Casilla which in turn found out to be productive for them.
This squad depth will be vital for Zidane in the final as he can change according to the situation as we saw many times this season as equal talents are available for him on the bench.
