That the clash between Real Madrid and Juventus will be a sell-out is not news but how quickly it became one did surprise as the final tickets for the general public went on sale at 10am and they had all gone by 10.08am on Monday.
Still there is an outside chance of getting a ticket through those who have season tickets and will make them available for re-sale.
There will be 4,000 Juventus fans in the 80,000 crowd at the Bernabeu and will be in the North.
Meanwhile, Massimiliano Allegri’s preparation for the Champions League quarter-final against Madrid has not exactly gone to plan, with several of his players suffering injury issues.
Already the Italian coach knew that he wouldn’t be able to count on Medhi Benatia or Miralem Pjanic, as both players were booked against Tottenham and must now complete a yellow card accumulation suspension.
Then there was the news that Alex Sandro had picked up an injury on Brail duty, one which saw him fly home and which is expected to rule him out of the first leg against Los Blancos.
Giorgio Chiellini similarly had to leave the Italy camp early due to a thigh injury, although he does still have a chance of making it.
The Turin based club even stated that his injury is “not serious”, but Allegri doesn’t yet know for certain if the defender will be available.
As if that wasn’t troubling enough, Sami Khedira then went down holding his knee in Germany’s 1-1 draw with Spain.
Like Chiellini, calm was urged and the German took to social media to tell fans the issue wasn’t serious.
If, however, both Chiellini and Khedira join Sandro, Benatia and Pjanic on the sidelines then five of Juventus’ likely starters will be ruled out.
