Juventus v Real Madrid - #UCL Final - 3rd June 2017

UEFA Champions League final is always a spectacular event but this season's clash of styles provides an intriguing contest in Cardiff on 3rd of June.

Real Madrid, reigning champions and seemingly unstoppable attack force, meet Juventus, the strongest defense in the European football, if not the world. It's @ 8/5 (2.60) that Real Madrid retains their crown with a victory in 90 minutes, while bet365 go @ 15/8 (2.88) on a win for Massimiliano Allegri's men in normal time.

Juventus have drawn plenty of plaudits for their impressive backline which has seen them dump Barcelona, Monaco and Porto out of the last 3 rounds, Juventus are set to face Real Madrid, who offer an even oddslot greater threat than any that have gone before them.

The bookies are going @ 4/1 (5.0) for a Real Madrid win with over 2.5 goals.

Juventus may have been able to shut down a youthful Monaco side in the UCL semi-finals but Real Madrid have the experience to make their mark in the UCL final.
