- Written by David Bet

Who will lift the trophy?

The Italian champions have a number of injury concerns. Mario Mandzukic will play no part in Jeddah, meaning that Douglas Costa and Federico Bernardeschi are in contention to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala up front. In midfield, Rodrigo Betancur and Blaise Matuidi should get the nod over the German duo Sami Khedira and Emre Can, and partner Miralem Pjanic. The likes of Juan Cuadrado and Mehdi Benatia are sidelined. Hence, Alex Sandro and Joao Cancelo will start as full back, while Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci will retain their starting berth at the heart of the defense.
Gattuso will have to contend without suspended forward Suso and Mattia Caldara, Lucas Biglia and Giacomo Bonaventura, who are all out through injury. Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta could make his second appearance for the club since joining from Flamengo, alongside Frank Kessie and Tiemoue Bakayoko in the middle of the park. Gonzalo Higuain should be flanked by Hakan Calhanoglu and Samu Castillejo up front, although Patrick Cutrone looks the in-form man and is pushing to replace the Argentine striker. The likes of Davide Calabria, Cristian Zapata, Leandro Romagnoli and Ricardo Rodriguez should form the four man backline.
