Real Madrid vs Juventus Head-to-HeadReal Madrid and Juventus have faced off 21 times competitively.

• Real Madrid wins: 10
• Juventus wins: 9
• Draws: 2

Real Madrid has scored 29 goals, while Juventus has netted 26. Their last competitive meeting was in the 2018 UCL quarterfinals, where Juventus snatched a dramatic 3-1 away victory in the second leg. However, Real Madrid boasts an unbeaten streak of 13 Club World Cup matches (12 wins) and remains undefeated in their last 6 games (5 wins). On the flip side, Juventus’ recent 5-2 loss to Manchester City marked only their second time conceding 5+ goals in three decades.

Match Preview

Real Madrid have been in best form in the group stage. A 3-0 win over RB Salzburg in their final group game confirmed the dominance of Xabi Alonso's team in attack and defence. After a 1-1 draw against Al Hilal in their opening match of the Club World Cup, wins against Pachuca and Salzburg have boosted their confidence. Now, their only goal is to beat Juventus and reach the quarter-finals.

Juventus now face a tough challenge. Despite two wins in the group stage, their 5-2 defeat to Manchester City exposed their defensive weaknesses. However, forwards like Kenan Yildiz and Randal Kolo Muani are still a ray of hope for the Italian team.
