The match between Real Madrid and Juventus in the 2025/26 Champions League group stage promises to be a fascinating clash between two teams with rich traditions in European football.
Under the guidance of coach Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid is enjoying impressive form with 10 wins in 11 matches across all competitions.
Kylian Mbappe has been outstanding with 5 goals in 2 Champions League matches and 10 goals in La Liga. He broke the record for scoring in 11 matches for both his club and the French national team.
Alonso highly values Mbappe's influence not only in scoring goals but also in his ability to create breakthroughs and lead the game.
However, the home team will be without several defenders such as Dani Carvajal, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen due to injury.
Therefore, Alonso is expected to use a 4-3-3 formation. Federico Valverde may continue to play right-back, while Raul Asencio will take on the central defensive role alongside Eder Militao.
Meanwhile, Juventus are going through a difficult period with a run of six winless matches in all competitions. Their last victory was a thrilling 4-3 win against Inter on September 13th.
Last weekend, Juventus lost 0-2 away to Como, failing to stop Nico Paz – a talent developed by Real Madrid and with a buy-back clause.
Nevertheless, coach Igor Tudor declared that Juventus is not in crisis and remains optimistic about his position.
Coach Tudor affirmed that Juventus prepares for every match as if it were a final, hoping that the players will give their all at the Bernabeu.
Juventus are expected to use a 3-4-1-2 formation to strengthen their defense while also leveraging their quick counter-attacks to limit Real Madrid's attacking power, especially on the left wing where Vinicius and Mbappé often operate.
With the home advantage and a strong squad, Real Madrid are considered the favorites. However, Juventus are not an easy opponent to beat, especially as they are eager to regain their form.
If Real Madrid don't maintain their focus, an unexpected result is entirely possible.
The dramatic results in Tuesday night's matches served as a lesson for Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid. After Juventus, they still have El Clásico against Barcelona to face.
