The "Juventus" team faces a particularly difficult evening tonight - the "old lady" will seek to defeat Madrid's "Atletico" and advance to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
A simple victory is not enough for the "Juventus" team - they have a two-goal deficit. The well-organized defense of "Atletico" will strive to prevent "Juve" from reaching Jan Oblak's gates.
Speaking at a press conference, Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini stated that "Atletico" is not a favorable team for them, as they play almost identical football.
"Atletico" is probably the most similar team to us in Europe. They have a solid defense and always achieve results through teamwork, not individual player skills. However, this does not mean they have no weak points. All teams are vulnerable, so "Atletico" cannot be sure that they will keep a clean sheet, the defender said.
When asked if Juventus could consider the season unsuccessful if they were eliminated from the Champions League now, G. Chiellini replied: "We try not to focus on talks of failure. We look at these matches with great enthusiasm. We are in the round of 16, we want to be in the quarterfinals, semifinals, and ultimately in the final.
We feel pressure from the media, but it doesn't affect us. As I said, we have to look at everything enthusiastically. If we are charged enough by the atmosphere at the stadium, this Champions League night can be magical."
"Atletico" won the first match at home with a score of 2:0. For example, today, they would be satisfied with defeats by a score of 0:1, 1:3, 2:4, etc.
