Pavel Nedved insists “in the Champions League there aren’t any favourites” after Juventus were paired with Porto in Friday’s last-16 draw.
Porto are well known to Italian audiences, having beaten Roma 4-1 on aggregate in the Champions League playoffs back in August, leaving Nedved bullish about Juve’s chances against the Portuguese giants.
“Everyone’s saying we’re the favorites, but in the Champions League there aren’t any favourites,” the Vice-President told Tuttomercatoweb after the draw.

“Everyone’s saying we’re the favorites, but in the Champions League there aren’t any favourites,” the Vice-President told Tuttomercatoweb after the draw.
“Going all the way will be really complicated, it’s a difficult and complicated competition, nothing’s easy and all the games are complicated.
“I’m never satisfied with the draw, you never know who awaits you. We’ll play this tie in two months, it’s difficult to speak after the draw.
“Porto? We mustn’t underestimate anyone, we have to be careful. I know what it’s like to play in the Champions League, we have to face these matches with maximum concentration.”
