Real Madrid, the giant Spaniards go against the Italian titans Juventus this UEFA season. They both had great wins, amazing goals and an exquisite teamwork. Players like Vidal and Tevez are dangerous with the ball; Ronaldo and Rodriguez are no less. Ronaldo stands as the highest scorer for Madrid with 8 goals, while Tevez seems to have decided to cross Madrids winger.
