Juventus put in an excellent performance at home last week, deservedly beating Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal, but they opened the door a crack for their opponents. Los Merengues snagged an away goal in their 2-1 loss, and will like their chances of pulling off a comeback in the second leg.

Can the reigning champs stage a comeback against a Bianconeri side featuring a healthy Paul Pogba?
A 1-0 win would see Madrid though to a Clásico final against Barcelona, but they’ll have to pull that off with a serious disadvantage in midfield. And after Sergio Ramos’ poor performance in an advanced position last week, Carlo Ancelotti is faced with a difficult decision. Does he throw Asier Illaramendi or Lucas Silva into what would be the biggest game of their careers? Or does he continue to play his most experienced players, regardless of fit?
The health of these two sides' midfields is the big story of the game. Paul Pogba is back for Juventus and should start the match. Meanwhile, Luka Modric is still sidelined for Real Madrid. The Old Lady are also without backups Martin Caceres, Romulo and Luca Marrone, while Karim Benzema is a slight doubt for Los Merengues.
