Prediction: Real Madrid 2-2 Juventus (Real Madrid win on Penalties)

This match will be a big test for both teams. Real Madrid have a good squad and more experience in high-pressure games. With Mbappé back, they have even more firepower. Juventus will fight hard and can earn an early goal. But their defensive weakness was revealed during the match against Man City. If they can maintain a compact defense, there is a good chance the match will go to the tie-breaker.
