03 giu 2017

The final game of the 2016-17 UEFA Champions league is here as Juventus are set to take on Real Madrid. Massimiliano Allegri is set to take on ex-Juve legend Zinedine Zidane. On one side you have Gigi Buffon, Dani Alves, Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain where as on the other side you have Cristiano Ronaldo, Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos. It has been 21 years since Juve won their last UCL title where as Real Madrid won last season and they are now looking to do a back-to-back (Milan where the last club to do so in 1988-89, 1989-90).

THE NUMBERS - This will be Real Madrid's 15th UCL final appearance which is the most by any club ( Milan are second with 11). Los Blancos have won the UCL 11 times which is by far the highest total (Milan are second with 7). They have won their last 5 UCL finals as Real Madrid's last defeat in a UEFA Champions league final is back in 1981 against Liverpool. Juve on the other hand have only a 25% success rate as they won 2 out of the 8 UCL finals they appeared in (6 losses). As previously said, their last UCL win goes back to the 1996 season.

THE INDIVIDUAL STATS - Gonzalo Higuain has scored 5 goals so far in this year's UCL as this is his best season in career. Cristiano Ronaldo hit the double digit mark in the UCL for the 5th straight season which is a record (Messi and Van Nisterlooy are the closest seconds as they hit double digit goals in two straight seasons).

Kick-off will be at 20H45 as you can follow this great UCL final with us here on Calciomercato.com.
