Over the past four years, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona are three teams that have stopped Juventus in Europe. Real and Bayern have both experienced horrible starts to their campaigns, Real are sixth in LaLiga whereas Bayern is placed fifth.

Barcelona performed well without Messi but also looks a far cry from the team that beat Juventus in the 2015 UCL final. Real, Bayern and Barca all have dropped their game a bit this season.

Real have struggled in the post-Ronaldo era, whereas Bayern is trying to cope up with an ageing squad and a new coach in Niko Kovac, whilst Juventus have looked unstoppable this season.

Their new signings Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Cancelo and Leonardo Bonucci have predictably strengthened their already solid squad. With most of their top rivals struggling in their domestic leagues, Juventus might have the perfect chance to conquer Europe.

However, the three teams mentioned here will probably improve their situations and teams in the Premier League might have something to say about Juve's European quest.
