The former midfielder says the Italian champions must not take Real Madrid lightly, but is backing them to claim European football's biggest prize
Gonzalo Higuain could be the deciding factor in the Champions League final between Juventus and Real Madrid, according to Alessio Tacchinardi.
Former Juve stalwart Tacchinardi played alongside current Madrid boss Zindedine Zidane in the 1998 Champions League final, which the La Liga giants won 1-0 courtesy of Predrag Mijatovic's goal.
Tacchinardi spent 13 years at the Turin club in total, and he believes that Juve have the quality in the likes of ex-Madrid man Higuain and veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to claim their first Champions League title since 1996.
