Real Madrid, under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, have navigated their group stage as winners, showing growing cohesion and flashes of their undeniable attacking prowess, even while integrating new tactical approaches. They come in as favorites, boasting a deep squad and a rich history in major tournaments.

Juventus, led by Igor Tudor, have shown resilience and offensive firepower in their Club World Cup campaign, despite a heavy defeat to Manchester City in their final group game where they reportedly rotated their squad. The Bianconeri are known for their defensive solidity and ability to strike on the counter, and they will look to exploit any vulnerabilities in Real Madrid’s setup. This is their first competitive meeting since the 2017/18 Champions League quarter-finals, adding another layer of intrigue to this historic rivalry. Expect a chess match in midfield and moments of individual brilliance to decide the outcome.
