5 Reasons why Juventus may not win the Champions League this season 

#1 The pressure could see them choke

Juventus are desperate for UCL glory

Of all the clubs left in the Champions League, Juventus arguably face the biggest pressure to win the trophy, as anything other than that would be classified as a disaster.

The club have been desperate to win the trophy for some years now and the addition of Ronaldo further increased the pressure, as in the eyes of fans and neutrals alike, the Old Lady no longer had any excuse not to go all the way.

This has put the players in a position in which winning the Champions League is almost a do or die affair, with the expectation levels of the fans sky high such that failure cannot be tolerated.

While this could serve as motivation for them to go all the way, more often than not it ends up doing the opposite as players cave in to the pressure and fail to step up when it really matters.

Football is very much more of a psychological one than it is physical and players go through the same emotional rollercoasters that the rest of us face.

History is littered with overwhelming favorites who buckled in the face of the enormous pressure facing them to succeed, with Brazil's infamous capitulation at the 2014 World Cup on home soil perhaps serving as the best example of this and this immense pressure on Juventus could also prove calamitous in their quest for 'The Big Ears'.
