Simple perspective of a football fan

Finally the day has arrived the Champions League is back in action. Juventus vs Real Madrid is the star match of tonight. The last season's Champions League finalist face of each other in a epic encounter. Both team have had a disappointing season so far by their standards. Juventus are just ahead in the Italian League and have not been at their absolute best in the Champions League as well. They roughly played good football against Spurs for 20 minutes and are very much fortunate to be in the quarterfinals. While Real Madrid the current defending Champions are having more disappointing season by the standard they left last season. They are out of the Spanish Cup and more importantly Laliga and have only the Champions League en route to win a major title this season. Still these two teams have picked up pace since the turn of 2018 and Juventus vs Real Madrid 1st leg is expected to be a riveting encounter as Juventus face the team who stopped them from winning the trophy last
