It's no secret that, when it comes to final games, Juventus seems to fail. The bianconeri are regularly playing title-deciding matches in Europe, but their luck hasn't been enough to give them one more UEFA Champions League title in the past 21 years.
Juventus own the unflattering record for most UEFA Champions League finals lost: four out of five played. If you consider the European Cup era of the competition, things get worse for the Old Lady, as they've lost six out of eight title-deciding games in this competition.
In fact, Juventus will be seeking for their first UEFA Champions League victory in a final match, as they have only won the trophy after a penalty shootout against Ajax in 1995-96 season.
Here are some facts Juventus' fans will need to keep in mind ahead of Saturday's clash.
Juventus MUST avoid conceding first
Considering European Cup and UEFA Champions League finals, the bianconeri have never bounced back after conceding the first goal. Three of their six games ended 1-0 (against Ajax in 1973, against Hamburg in 1983 and facing Real Madrid in 1998), and they went on to lose 3-1 in two more (against Borussia Dortmund in 1997 and Barcelona in 2014). Juventus' ability to come back will be seriously tested by a crafty Real Madrid side, which currently own the best offensive unit in the tournament.
Spanish teams have dominated the Old Lady
As we mentioned above, Juventus has struggled to walk away with a win when facing Spanish sides in the Final. Real Madrid(1998) and Barcelona (2015) gave the bianconeri reasons to cry after losing two close games. Will the third time be a charm for Allegri's men?
Allegri's record against Real Madrid
If someone thought Juve's tactician had the key to beat Los Blancos, they'll have to think again. The Italian boss has only played a couple of times against Real Madrid, losing once (2-0) and drawing the other one. In both games, Milan conceded first.
