Plus they don't know who their regular keeper is, Diego started first game much to Casillas dismay. I expect Juve to win at home against them, and wouldnt be surprised if Real only get a point in Turkey. People seem to forget that they lost 3-2 away at Galatasary last season, were wooped 4-1 at Dortmund, and lost 2-1 in Dortmund in group stage. And they only got through to the semis because of the dodgy Nani sending off at Man U when they were losing 1-0 and heading out of the competition. They've actually only won 2 out of last 7 away games in CL, and one of those was that game against Man U.
