Real Madrid v Juventus factfile

Date:

Factfile on Real Madrid and Juventus ahead of the Champions League semi-final, second leg between the clubs in Madrid on Wednesday (Juventus lead 2-1):

Form: Real Madrid’s La Liga title hopes all but ended on Saturday as Cristiano Ronaldo saw a penalty saved in a 2-2 draw at home to Valencia. The European champions now trail Barcelona by four points with just two league games remaining.

A point also extended Madrid’s poor run against the other sides in La Liga’s top four as they took just four points from a possible 18 against Barca, Atletico Madrid and Valencia this year. Moreover, it was the fourth time in their last five games in which Carlo Ancelotti’s men have conceded twice.

Juventus had already clinched their 31st Italian title before beating Real 2-1 in last week’s first leg.

A 1-1 draw at home to relegation-threatened Cagliari at the weekend was most notable for the return of French star Paul Pogba after two months out through injury as he scored his 10th goal of the season.
