Los Merengues are in Turin for the first leg of the crucial tie, and Carletto gave his assessment of the Old Lady in his pre-match Press conference.
“If Juve are in the semi-finals it’s because they deserve it,” Ancelotti told assembled media.
“It was a surprise, but that doesn’t mean that we’re the favourites. When you get to the semi-finals anything can happen.

“If Juve are in the semi-finals it’s because they deserve it,” Ancelotti told assembled media.
“It was a surprise, but that doesn’t mean that we’re the favourites. When you get to the semi-finals anything can happen.
“Last year [in the final] we were almost done-for, and we won in the end. There are four teams [in the semis] and they all have the same chance.
“[Juventus Coach Massimiliano] Allegri has done a great job, he’s got a common sense approach and he’s given balance to the team.
“He’s already done great things.
“We don’t know who is better, I can honestly say that we are two different teams, with different characteristics and different players.
“Both sides will try to impose their qualities tomorrow, and we want to be the ones to do that.
“If Juve impose their style on us, then I think they have the better chance of winning, the more we impose ourselves then the better our chances will be.
“This is the Champions League, and these are the semi-finals. If you’re brave you win. If you’re afraid you lose.”
