Maurizio Sarri wants Juventus to “enjoy our football” against Atletico Madrid. “There are 10-12 Champions League teams with the same resources as us.”

It kicks off on Wednesday at the Wanda Metropolitano at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

“Miralem Pjanic is available, he trained regularly with the group today and we’ll see if he starts or not,” said the Coach in a Press conference.

Juve won the last eight Serie A titles in a row, but see the Champions League as something of an obsession.

Juventus ultras are abandoning the Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid in protest at recent arrests of group leaders.

The Bianconeri begin their tournament tomorrow evening at the Wanda Metropolitano, but won’t have as many fans attending as expected.

According to Tuttosport, those ultras who had bought tickets to the away fixture have decided to stay home and give up on the expensive journey as part of their protest against the club.

Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic has been passed fit to face Atletico Madrid tomorrow evening.

Pjanic limped off during Juve’s 0-0 draw with Fiorentina on Saturday and was a doubt for the trip to Atleti.

However, the Bosnian was confirmed as travelling with the squad to Madrid, where the Bianconeri open their account in this season’s Champions League.

On the other hand, the same cannot be said for injured trio Giorgio Chiellini, Douglas Costa and Mattia De Sciglio.

Koke insists revenge will not be on Atletico Madrid’s minds against Juventus, even if “we can only hope Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t have his best game.”

Ronaldo scored a hat-trick to not only beat Atleti 3-0 in the Champions League Round of 16 last season but also swing the tie in Juve’s favour after they lost the first leg 2-0.

The two sides face off again in the 2019-20 group stage, with Koke’s team playing host to the Bianconeri tomorrow night.

“It’s not about revenge,” the midfielder told Marca.

Juventus will be without Douglas Costa for the next two weeks, but Miralem Pjanic should be fit to face Atletico Madrid.

Costa and Pjanic both limped off during Juve’s 0-0 draw with Fiorentina on Saturday.

The Bianconeri have now confirmed in a medical report that the winger suffered “a medium-grade thigh injury”.

It adds he will be reassessed in two weeks, possibly ruling him out of the Derby d’Italia with Inter on October 6.

Maurizio Sarri felt Juventus ought to be pleased with a draw against Fiorentina, because amid injuries “a team with less personality would’ve lost.”

The Coach made his first competitive appearance on the touchline after recovering from pneumonia, as he watched their wins over Parma and Napoli from afar.

Milan talent Gianluigi Donnarumma is the best performing goalkeeper in Europe’s top five leagues in 2019, with Torino’s Salvatore Sirigu in third place.

According to WhoScored.com, the Italy international was the most reliable man between the sticks, with a save success rate of 81.9 per cent.

Donnarumma narrowly beat Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid into second place, with his 81.2 per cent success rate.

Elseid Hysaj is in the Champions League squad, but his agent admits he “tried to the last second to secure a transfer away from Napoli.”

The full-back had been seemingly on the way out since the start of the summer, but talks with Valencia and Atletico Madrid never reached a positive conclusion.

“My objective was to take him away and I tried to the last second of the market to secure a transfer away from Napoli,” agent Mario Giuffredi told Tuttomercatoweb.

Nikola Kalinic is “proud to become part of this team and this club” after completing his loan with option to buy for €11m move to Roma from Atletico Madrid.

The Giallorossi paid €2m for the season-long loan, with option to buy in June 2020 for a further €9m.

“It feels great, because I am joining a big club,” Kalinic told the official club website.

“I am proud to become part of this team and this club. Roma has big history and I am very happy to be here.”

Nikola Kalinic has officially joined Roma, on loan with option to buy from Atletico Madrid for a total of €11m.

A statement confirmed Kalinic is on loan at the Olimpico for €2m, with option to buy at the end of the season for a further €9m.

The 31-year-old Croatia international forward returned to Serie A, having previously played for Fiorentina in 2015-17 and Milan in 2018-19.

He was sold to Atletico Madrid for €14.5m last summer, but struggled for regular playing time with four goals in 24 competitive games.
