The 41-year-old has a mixed record with Juventus, overseeing two wins and two defeats.

Most notably, he was holding the whistle in the 2015 Champions League Final, which Juve lost 3-1 to Barcelona.

Real Madrid have won five, drawn two and lost two of their matches with Cakir involved.

Superstitious Juventini could be interested in the fact the last two have been defeats, 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in the 2017 Champions League semi-final and 3-1 at Tottenham Hotspur in this season’s group phase.
