Claudio Marchisio sees Real Madrid weaknesses

Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio talks up his side's chances of getting revenge on Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has insisted that his side are capable of exposing Real Madrid's defensive weaknesses when they meet in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The Bianconeri lost 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu two weeks ago, with Fernando Llorente's strike cancelled out by a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Marchisio believes that Giorgio Chiellini's sending-off proved to be the decisive moment in that match, declaring that Juve can test Carlo Ancelotti's side if they maintain a disciplined approach.

He told AS: "We have to pay close attention to Madrid's counter-attacks. We have to keep an eye on players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, who are very quick When they come out on the break.

"They have plenty of strong players up front, but they sometimes help out less in defensive areas, putting Their backline under pressure."

"But the reality is that real Madrid have great players and are on the way to becoming a terrific team under Ancelotti, who is a good coach."

Antonio Conte's side are still searching for the first win of the campaign in Europe, with the Madrid defeat preceded by draws against Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
