Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has labelled 11-time winners Real Madrid favourites for the Champions League final, but said the “optimistic” Italians intend on bringing the trophy home from Cardiff on Saturday.
Fresh from securing a record third consecutive league and Cup double, Juventus are looking to complete a treble this season when they face Real in the Welsh capital.
The June 3 final comes two years after a 3-1 defeat to Barcelona in Berlin in Allegri’s opening season at the club — that was Juve’s sixth defeat in the final of the competition, a record.
Real, meanwhile, won the trophy in 2014 and again last season, beating city rivals Atletico in the final on each occasion.
