“I’ll be happy if I manage to score past Buffon, but whoever manages to score and help my team to victory will be fine.

“We have studied Juve very carefully, they are a good side and solid, but we too have a strong strike force.

“I don’t believe there are any favourites in this tie and only at the end of the game will we see what the result was.

“Juve have a great defence, but we are good too and know how to play, how to score and how to react to situations. When situations change, so do we.

“We must above all focus on the defence tomorrow and if things go well there, I am sure we will win. We have to think positive and believe in our victory.

“We see Juve as a great team and hope that everything goes smoothly tomorrow. We’ll start strong in the opening minutes and maintain our intensity, but the important thing is to come out fighting.

“If we don’t believe in ourselves, then who will? I have to believe we are the best, so we must think like that to win.”
