Before the upcoming UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match in Portugal, both coaches of the teams expressed their thoughts and observations.
Nuno Espirito Santos, the coach of Porto:
"We are ready for the upcoming match. Two of the 16 most powerful European teams will step onto the field and we are facing a great challenge.
The Estadio do Dragao arena will be full and we will feel the passionate support of the fans and we will want to direct this energy towards the events on the field.
We do not underestimate any team, but we are not afraid either. In the upcoming match, we will have to show all of our strength."
Massimo Allegri, Juventus:
Porto consistently competes in the UEFA Champions League tournament.
They have not suffered a defeat since September and have only conceded 14 goals throughout the season.
In the last three years, the Portuguese have defeated the Bayern and Chelsea teams at home, so we are facing a tough challenge and we know what problems we may encounter.
180 minutes of battle await us, as Porto is not the weakest opponent we could have faced in the draw."
