Last year, the team of "Juventus" was one step away from the coveted Champions League trophy, but Italians were stopped by Madrid's "Real" club, who defeated Massimo Allegri's students decisively in the crucial match in Cardiff with a score of 4:1.
This season, representatives of "Serie A" will have the opportunity to seek revenge - both teams will compete in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
After the draw on Friday, "Juventus" vice president and team legend Pavel Nedved had no doubt that the "black and whites" will perform better.
"We know that we faced the most powerful team, triumphing in the last two tournaments. "Real" plays well and impressed me with their performance in Paris, but in the first match we will play at home and will do our best to give the opponents a hard time.
I do not think "Juventus" will suffer in the field, as it happened in Cardiff - now everything starts anew. It will be difficult, as two players will miss the game due to disqualification.
Psychologically, "Real" is more accustomed to playing single matches rather than two-game series, as we saw in Wales. Now "Juventus" will have more chances.
"Real" is out of the race for the "La Liga" champion title and will focus all their energy on the Champions League, but we will also be prepared," - P.Nedved reassured.
