Booking for the Champions League Finals
Real
Madrid take on Juventus with the two sides bidding for a place at the
Champions League final. The first leg ended 2-1 in favour of the Italian
outfit. However, the Los Blancos will also do their best to book a
ticket and defend their title against Barcelona.
Juventus are seeking to reach their first Champions League finals in more than a decade, but defender Giorgio Chiellini knows that his side cannot afford to play with an overly defensive approach in the second leg.
"We
will need to score a goal, because we know that that you can't go to
Madrid and defend such a slender advantage, Chiellini said.
"We
respect all the teams in the world, and we know what Italian teams are
like - they defend very well and we will have to be very good to break
through their defence.
"We have to score goals and if we manage that we will be going to the final in Berlin."
Real will again be without midfielder Luka Modric because of a knee problem, but Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos are expected to be back on the field. While Juve are without Kwadwo Asamoah (knee) and Martin Caceres (ankle). But Paul Pogba, marked his return from a hamstring injury with a goal in a 1-1 draw with Cagliari.
