Real Madrid started the game very briskly with possession in the attacking half, while the Juventus merengue marked the departure of the ball and came to face the danger in the Spanish team’s individual mistakes. Italy had the best chance to score in the 11th minute of the first half when a beautiful free kick by defender Bonucci hit the crossbar of goalkeeper Courtois.

Reality ahead

The momentum of the game remained practically the same after the break. While the Spanish were attacking the ball, the Italians were on the defensive. Carvajal had the best chance in the 14th minute when he finished off a lovely pass from Vinny Junior. And Perrin saw a great defense in action.
