“I believe this will be the most important test of the Andrea Agnelli era in the last five years,” Marotta told Sport Mediaset.

“We have the right motivation, our opponents are in the way, but I am optimistic.”

This would be the Bianconeri’s first semi-final appearance since losing the Final to Milan in 2003.

“The history of Juventus speaks clearly and the trophy cabinet is rich with international success. We have to take on teams like Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

“Even before then, tonight Monaco are to be feared. We must first overcome this obstacle, then look to the future with calm.”

Marotta was asked about Paris Saint-Germain striker Cavani, who French papers report will be heading to Juventus next season.

“Everyone knows Cavani is an excellent player and he is certainly a target for many European clubs. We like him, but in all honesty we have not approached any PSG director.”
