Tutu: Juventus may return to three defenders against Real Madrid, with striker Yildiz partnering with Vlahovic

In the third round of the UEFA Champions League, Juventus played away to Real Madrid. Turin Sports reported that Juventus may return to a three-back system in this game.

Tudor said that facing Real Madrid, Tudor may return to the three-back system, which is the formation the team has often played in recent months, and the four-back against Como left more questions than answers. Due to the injuries of Bremer and Cabal, adjusting the defensive system is still a solution, but the team cannot take risks against Real Madrid, especially considering that in the knockout rounds of the Club World Cup a few months ago, Juventus performed well against Real Madrid using three defenders.

Facing Real Madrid in this scene, Tudor will send out a classic 352 system. The three defenders in front of Di Gregorio are Gatti, Rugani and Kelly. Locatelli, Thuram and Kupmenas form a three-midfielder. The wing-backs on both sides are Cambiaso and Kalulu. Yildiz and Vlahovich partner up front. David and Oponda may get the chance to come on as substitutes, especially if Juve fall behind.

The remaining question is that in this formation, Juventus does not have a substitute central defender, and Tudor may also let Kalulu appear in the central defender position, leaving the right wing for McKennie. McKennie came on as a substitute against Como, arriving late after the international break.
