Two years ago, in Berlin (Germany), Juventus lost 1-3 to Barcelona in the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League final. In the next match, they will have the opportunity to correct their mistakes and reach the top of glory if they defeat Real Madrid.
Although coach Massimiliano Allegri has not made a final decision on the starting lineup of the "Old Da Nang" in the upcoming match, he still emphasized that all players clearly understand what he wants from them.
Speaking at the press conference, the strategist said: "I have not decided who the 11 players in the starting lineup are, the match could last 90 minutes or 120 minutes and may have to change a lot. So you have to think about changes, the bench can become the deciding factor.
We have to be sure that we can take the trophy home. We have to have more faith than them and sacrifice more. I have heard that we have failed in many finals, tomorrow that will end. You don't have to think about what happened 50 years ago."
In the Real Madrid squad for this final, Isco or Gareth Bale starting is still a mystery. The Welsh striker has recovered from injury and is available for play. Isco has been a replacement for Bale for most of his injury.
Coach Allegri had an assessment of these two players: "We have discussed it with each other. Bale is a very fast player with great speed and can destroy opponents on a large scale. Isco is not an easy player to predict but he will make Real Madrid have problems in the defense system."
With goalkeeper Buffon, he has a great source of motivation to win the highest title for clubs in Europe. The "legend" goalkeeper shared: "My feelings will definitely be different from other younger players like Dani Alves. He has won this arena and has 4-5 more years in his career.
I have to eliminate this possibility so the next match will be very important for me. I still feel like a young man even though I am 39 years old.
The 2016 2017 UEFA Champions League final will take place at the National Stadium in Cardiff, Wales at 1:45 a.m. on June 4, Vietnam time.
