Juventus and Atletico Madrid will finally play in a friendly this Sunday. Both clubs will face off in Continassa, Juventus' training ground.

Juventus and Atletico Madrid were supposed to play a friendly this Sunday in Israel. However, Israel's latest bombing of the Gaza strip, as well as possible revenge attacks, meant the Italian side did not want to travel and so the match was cancelled.

Both clubs were looking for a possible solution to play the game somewhere else this Sunday despite it being at very short notice.

Finally, both clubs have managed to do that. 'Sky Sport' announced that Juventus and Atletico Madrid will face off at 18:00 CEST, instead of 20:30 CEST as initially scheduled.

The venue chosen is Continassa, Juventus' training ground. There, both clubs will prepare ahead of the upcoming season.
