Juventus defender Angelo Ogbonna admits it’s ‘a dream’ to be in the Champions League final, and isn’t afraid of Lionel Messi.
The Bianconeri will face the forward and Barcelona in Berlin on Saturday, and despite Messi’s 58 goals and 23 assists in just 50 games this season, the ex-Torino man insists he is not losing any sleep.
“It’s a great satisfaction for me to have achieved this in my second year at Juve,” Ogbonna told reporters at the club’s media day.

“This is a winning team, they’ve helped me to integrate, and now here we are – the dream has become reality.
“It’s very emotional, because as a child you see your idols playing in games like this, now we’ll be playing it.
“The final is a dream, and Messi is not a nightmare – if he was then it would be better not to even go onto the pitch.”
