Real Madrid host Juventus in a game that ultimately may decide if the Champions League holders are going to win anything this season.

With the La Liga title effectively already out of their reach after dropped points at home to Valencia ensured rivals Barcelona raced to a four point lead at the top with only two games left, Madrid will definitely do all they can to try and rescue their season by recovering from the 2-1 setback suffered in Turin last week.

A goal from former Real Madrid boy and another from Carlos Tevez was enough for Juventus to emerge victorious despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s equaliser in the second half.

Nonetheless, Real Madrid only need a 1-0 scoreline to progress to the final for the second consecutive season but it won’t be easy because Juventus are looking to make their first final since 2003.

All things considered, you have got to say Real Madrid are still heavy favorites to progress because of their good home record in the Champions League this season and one man – Ronaldo.
