Juventus vs Real Madrid
For Juventus fans, it’s Déjà vu all over again. With the nightmare Champions League final loss from last season still fresh in the memory, it’s hard to know whether Allegri’s men will be happy with the draw to seek revenge, or terrified in case Ronaldo’s men cause embarrassment once again.

Sevilla vs Bayern Munich
