1. Monaco

Monaco are the least experienced team remaining in the UCL and Real’s squad is much better in individually quality. The players are much more comfortable in handling these last few rounds before a final when the pressure is the highest.

2. Atletico

While still tough, Atletico has not faired well against Los Blancos in UCL COMPETITION( take last years final or the 2014 final).

Diego Simeone has several really good players and they have been somewhat clicking lately, but if Real have their rotation policy in full effect, the freshness amongst the attack and midfielders should be too much for Gddin and company.

3. Juventus

Last time we played this Italian side, we lost over two legs.

They have a wonderful defensive team and the new players they brought in at the beginning of the year have all panned out.

They have Dybala, Higuain and Cuadrado who can all make an impact so the quality is there individually, like ZIdane has in his staring XI.

Buffon is their showstopper who hasn’t won a UCL title yet, so I believe that whole organization has a lot more intent to win; they’ve been saying UCL is there ultimate goal for a long time now.
