Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli says they are ‘ready for battle’ against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

The Bianconeri take on the German champions in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie in Turin on Tuesday.

The veteran centre-back underlined that it’s ‘crucial’ that Juve come away with a good result and reflected on the ‘really difficult’ 0-0 draw with Bologna on Friday in Serie A.

“We know that Bayern are one of the three best teams in the world, but we’re playing at home and Juventus Stadium will give us a real boost,” Barzagli said to Juventus TV.

“Every team has its weaknesses and it’s our job to find them. We’ll give it a good go and be ready for the battle.

“When you play two-legged games and the first is at home, it’s crucial you come away with a good result in the first encounter.

“We know we’ll face some difficult moments, but we’re used to playing these kinds of matches.

“Bologna was a really difficult game, we had little space in which to operate and both teams did well at the back, meaning goalscoring chances were few and far between.

“Nobody has won easily at the Dall’Ara, and some of the big teams have come away empty-handed.”
