#2 Keep an eye on the Atletico strikers

Atletico Madrid strikers have a great tendency of getting behind the opposition defenders.

Though Atletico's both goals in the first leg came from their center-backs, their strikers were lethal in every attacking move the Spanish team created.

Alvaro Morata almost got his name on the score-sheet after a brilliant header in the far post, but the VAR disallowed his goal controversially due to an alleged foul in the penalty box.

Apart from Morata, French World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann hit the crossbar and Spain striker Diego Costa also almost scored when he created a great one on one with keeper Wojciech Sczcesny only to miss the target by a whisker.

It won't just be a focus on goals galore tonight for Juve, as the Atletico Madrid strikers can punish any opposition on the slightest mistake, and so Juventus will have to keep a close eye on them. Probably man-marking them as much as possible might solve this issue.
