He\u00a0described Isco being the flashy, efficient, fan favorite, who the fans would love to see, and Bale\u00a0being the player that has the exact skill set to fit the team&#8217;s style of play, especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, concluded that it probably wouldn&#8217;t matter, since Real Madrid is still the better team regardless. Balague believes the offense is pretty consistent,\u00a0and the defense, though faulty at times, is usually able to finish strong.<\/p>\n<p>Further, he said that Madrid&#8217;s depth and versatility can outlast Juventus&#8217;s defense.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Managing Madrid<\/strong><\/h2>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>EXPERT<\/th>\n<th>PICK<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Lucas Navarrete<\/th>\n<th>Juventus<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>It&#8217;s about the defense for Navarrete, hence the Juventus pick. He is impressed with ageless wonder Giancarlo Buffon and his ability to maintain a high level of play (as most people are). The 39-year-old only gave up 28 goals in 42 games this year, while also allowing zero goals 21 times. Buffon&#8217;s backup, Neto, was also commended by Navarrete, saying that the Brazillian, by far,\u00a0the best backup between the two teams (gave up nine goals in 14 games, had eight games with zero allowed goals).<\/p>\n<p>Navarrete also added that Real Madrid&#8217;s explosive attack\u00a0may have a long day with Juventus&#8217;s frontline.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ESPN FC (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L0T7_skYVuA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch here<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>EXPERT<\/th>\n<th>PICK<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Craig Burley<\/th>\n<th>Juventus<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Steve Nicol<\/th>\n<th>Juventus<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Alejandro Moreno<\/th>\n<th>Juventus<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The three analysts from ESPN FC were all praises for Juventus.
