After eliminating Ajax in the previous round, Juventus share the same ambition as us, namely to reach the last eight.
Having been instrumental in the scandals that rocked Italian football a few years back, the Turin club had to claw their way out of Serie B to get back into the big-time.
It has been a hard process and the ‘Old Lady` hasn`t had much to smile about recently.
Currently, Juventus lie fifth in Serie A and their French forward, David Trezeguet, has ahead of the fixture, championed his own sides cause remarking,
“We want to win the Europa League and finish fourth in Serie A to qualify for the Champions League.”
“We haven`t won anything for years. It`s time to show everyone we`re still Juventus and a strong squad which will command respect throughout Europe.”
Whilst there`s nothing too feisty in those words, they do show that the ‘Old Lady` is ready to battle to restore the Turin side to their previous lofty position. Whether it`ll be at our expense remains to be seen!
