2017 UEFA Champions League final is 50-50 says Makelele

Makelele, who was part of the Champions League-winning Real side in 2002, said it will be a 50-50 game when his former team lock horns with Italian giants Juventus on Saturday in a bid to claim a 12th European Cup title.

Makelele expected an even contest between the star-studded sides, but said the difference would come from key tactical decisions.

'I think Juventus have made a lot of progress. For the last three years, they have been fighting for this trophy. Now I think they are ready to fight. Real won La Liga and before they have won the Champions League. They are comfortable and know how to play a final. It is normal for them,' he said.

'It is 50-50. But I think the managers (Zinedine Zidane of Real or Massimiliano Allegri of Juventus) will make the difference, and also the big players. This will be the key in the match.'
