Following Saturday’s draw against Fiorentina, Juventus are ready to make their debut in new edition of the Champions League when they face Atletico Madrid tomorrow. Manager Maurizio Sarri discussed his team’s approach to the competition in the pre match press conference:”We are Juventus and every time we take to the pitch we do so to win. The Champions isn’t an obsession for us. We know full well there are competitions with 10-12 teams that have the same tools as us. We must be fully focused but also have some lightness in these matches, you need to go back to having fun on the pitch”
Sarri gave an update on some of his key players:”Pjanic is available, he practiced regularly with his teammates, we’ll evaluate tomorrow if he should start. Khedira and Matuidi are extraordinary players, but I’m also seeing the other midfielders improved we have may weapons with different attributes at our disposal”
Sarri described tomorrow’s opponent:”They are one of the teams that can win the Champions League, they can play with anyone, they have extraordinary players. In the Champions you need mental and phsycal force and a bit of luck”.
