Cagliari Coach Gianluca Festa warns Juventus will not be distracted by the Champions League when they meet tomorrow.

The Isolani travel to Turin to take on the Italian champions, who have a crucial semi-final second leg against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Some have suggested that this could serve as an opportunity for Cagliari to pick up points in their battle to beat the drop, but Festa dismisses such talk.

“Will they be distracted? The Bianconeri go out to win every time,” the Coach said in his pre-match Press conference.

“Will they be distracted? The Bianconeri go out to win every time,” the Coach said in his pre-match Press conference.

“It will be nice to play at a stadium like Juventus’. We’re facing the champions of Italy, that’s an incredible motivation even before you consider what’s at stake.

“We’re playing the best team in Italy, and one which is also doing well in Europe. This game will tell us how strong we are.

“They’re a very strong, team, but we’re going to Turin to win.”

Bianconeri Coach Massimiliano Allegri is a former Cagliari boss, and Festa spoke briefly about his opposite number.

“He’s a clever Coach. He was greeted with skepticism when he arrived in Turin, but now he’s showing his skills.”

Festa has also named his squad for the match, which gets underway at 5pm GMT tomorrow.

Cagliari squad for Juventus: Brkic, Colombi, Cragno, Avelar, Balzano, Capuano, Ceppitelli, Diakité, Murru, Pisano, Rossettini, Barella, Conti, Cossu, Crisetig, Donsah, Ekdal, Joao Pedro, Cop, Farias, Longo, Sau
