Juventus travel to Portugal for the first leg of the last 16 in the European Cup and the home side are confident of giving the Old Lady a hard time on Wednesday.

“We will give Juventus problems as Porto also have something in their DNA,” Conceicao said at a press conference.

“We have a winning mentality regardless of the opponent. We need to be aware that our approach has to change at different times of the game while always looking for the positive result."

Cristiano Ronaldo returns to his homeland and the Juventus talisman has scored seven times in the knockout stages for the Bianconeri so far.

"Cristiano can decide a game at any moment and in the final third he is a fabulous player,” Conceicao added.

“He’s the best in the world without a doubt. We have to be solid, compact and cohesive.

“We must understand what space Cristiano, [Alvaro] Morata, [Dejan] Kulusevski or whoever plays up front wants and deny it them."
