#2 Miralem Pjanic vs Toni Kroos
Miralem Pjanic wasn't available for the first leg of the quarter-final due to suspension and Juventus certainly missed his services in midfield. Allegri had to pair Sami Khedira with Rodrigo Bentancur - a 20-year-old with little experience and a player who has barely been used this season.
When Bentancur was booked, his impact on the game was vastly reduced as he played with caution. As a result, Khedira was forced to deal with Real's illustrious midfield all by himself.
With Pjanic back in the starting lineup (and possible Blaise Matuidi), Allegri will hope he can use him to block all the passing channels and also use his ability on set-pieces - especially with free-kicks.
On the other hand, Zidane will hope Toni Kroos continues where he left off in Turin. He was easily the second-best player after Cristiano Ronaldo and even managed to test Buffon with a long-range effort that nearly shattered the crossbar.
Pjanic and Kroos will most likely face off in midfield when they operate in the same area of the pitch. The winner of this battle could decide which side wins the midfield battle.
