Juventus entertain Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night at the Allianz Stadium confronting a doughty opponent and the unthinkable: early elimination from the Champions League after having splashed out 100 million euros for the predatory skills of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Turin giants are 18 points clear of second placed Napoli and closing in on their eighth consecutive Series A crown.
But such domestic dominance has not furnished them with comparable success in European club football's most prestigious tournament.
They are seeking their first triumph in the competition since 1996. There have been near misses. Juventus lost in the 2015 and 2017 finals to Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.
