“This is a very important period of the campaign for us and we’re ready for it.”

Benatia had faced Juventus as an opponent last term when Bayern Munich knocked them out in extra time.

“At Bayern we never underestimated Juventus, as this is a side with an important reputation on an international level. I remember full well in the locker room when we found out who we’d got in the draw, nobody was happy.

“Juve had a great game at the Allianz Arena and caused us huge problems, but we did well to react.”
