#4 Sami Khedira vs Isco

Levante v Real Madrid - La Liga
Isco is expected to start ahead of Marco Asensio and Gareth Bale

After a sensational hat-trick against Argentina and getting rested against Las Palmas on Saturday, Isco is expected to start against Juventus. He will play in the hole behind the two strikers and will look to find channels to move and space to find the right pass.

The man deployed to stop Isco from being at his creative best will be Juventus' Sami Khedira. Sitting in front of the backline, Khedira will be tasked with keeping a close eye on the Spaniard and giving him as less time on the ball as possible.

Real Madrid will heavily rely on Isco's work on the ball and Juventus will need to have Khedira at his destructive best to stop Isco from creating chances or getting to run forward with the ball.
