Today at 2:45 p.m. ET, Juventus and Real Madrid faceoff in UEFA Champions League Group B action live from Juventus Stadium in Italy. The game can be live streamed here.
Juventus enters this contest knowing that it's make-or-break time for their season goals. Antonio Conte's club enters this game at Juventus Stadium looking for its first win in the competition after three failed attempts thus far.
The Italians lost 2-1 to Madrid last month and sit in third while Madrid tops the group having won all of its games so far.
"It's definitely a fundamental game and important for our future in the Champions League," Conte said in Monday's press conference per ESPN. "We're looking forward to it a lot. Juventus versus Real Madrid is a classic, a fascinating game. I expect the warmth of our fans, like we always have, because it is very important."
Juventus is coming off of a 1-0 victory over Parma Saturday and hope that they are going to use that momentum to gain an important victory in the Champions League.
Conte knows his team is up for a challenge against the front line of Real Madrid.
"I defined them devastating, especially if they are allowed to play the game they prefer," Conte said via ESPN. "Cristiano Ronaldo, (Gareth) Bale, (Karim) Benzema, (Angel) Di Maria, to say but a few, are extraordinary, fantastic when they have the field in front of them and room to exploit, so we've got to be careful and do what we did in Madrid."
Real Madrid has been firing on all cylinders, having scored 12 goals and allowed just two during their first three triumphs in the Champions League. Their attack is led by Ronaldo, who has 20 goals in all competitions thus far.
Despite its success, Madrid will not take Juve lightly.
"They are a great side and we respect them," midfielder Luka Modric said, according to ESPN. "They have good quality players and we expect a difficult game in Turin."
Real Madrid will look to continue its recent success while a desperate Juventus team will try to put the brakes on them when they go head-to-head at Juventus Stadium.
