Juve vs Real - who will win the Champions League on Saturday?
1.6.2017
Translation: machine translated
This Saturday at 8.45pm the Champions League final will take place in Cardiff. At last! As a die-hard Juventina fan, I obviously can't miss this game. To prepare you for the match, I've put together some facts about Juve and Real and their key players Buffon and Ronaldo.
Statistics
Real Madrid: Playing its 15th Champions League final on Saturday and has emerged victorious eleven times - what odds!
Juventus Turin: The Old Lady will play their 9th Champions League final on Saturday. Juve have only lifted the trophy twice so far.
Performance and success
If you look at the current performance of the two teams, you have to say that both are playing at a top level. Juve ended this season with a double - winning the league for the sixth time and the cup for the third time in a row. Real ended the season by winning the championship. The Copa (as the cup is known in Spain) went to Barça this season. Real have only lost one game since the last 16 of the Champions League. Both teams will give their all on Saturday to win the title for themselves.
Key players
Gianluigi Buffon: "Gigi" is now 39 years old and in the form of his life. He has already been named World Goalkeeper of the Year four times in his career. In this year's Champions League phase, Buffon went 621 minutes without being beaten. After six games in the Champions League without conceding a goal, he only conceded the first goal in the second leg of the Juve v Monaco semi-final in the 69th minute, but this was not enough for Monaco to win.
Cristiano Ronaldo: 32-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most prolific and best strikers in the world. He has already been named World Player of the Year four times in his career. Last year, he became European champion with the Portuguese national team, which was probably one of his greatest successes ever. This year, he scored 25 goals in the championship and ten in the Champions League.
So, what's left to say? Kit yourselves out in your favourite jerseys for this wonderful evening - I'll definitely be wearing black and white next Saturday!

sara.costa@digitecgalaxus.chEver since I can remember, my passion has been football.
Today I no longer play actively in a football club. But that doesn't change the fact that my heart beats faster every time I see a football.
In winter I can be found on the slopes and in summer I like to play sports in nature.
At Galaxus, I can also pursue my passion professionally and this allows me to perform at my best.
