Mijatovic insists Real Madrid favourites against Juventus in Champions League final

Former Real Madrid striker Pedja Mijatovic rates his old club favourites against Juventus in the Champions League final.

Mijatovic also served as a sports director at Real.

“It's a great final between two world-class teams," Mijatovic told Tuttomercatoweb.

“I'm particularly happy because I experienced this clash many years ago and it's something special, so we'll see how it ends this time.

“It's true that they were favourites [in 1998] because they'd just won the League while we were coming off a negative League campaign.

“This year I don't see a favourite, both won their domestic League, both have international players and both have players who can solve the game.

“I see a slight advantage for Real Madrid, who have been in great form for the past two months, have so many champions and have a bench of a great level."
