The first question was on Sami Khedira, who underwent surgery to correct a heart irregularity and will be out for a month.

“I heard from Sami, he’s fine and that is the most important thing. He needs to rest for a while, we’ll be without him for 30 days, we have other players and are waiting for his recovery,” the director told Sky Sport Italia.

Atletico Madrid and Juventus are among the contenders to go all the way, so are there any favourites?

“The Champions League ties are always tough, so I’d say it is 50-50. Like Juventus, Atletico Madrid have done very well in the tournament in recent years.

“It’s a great evening in a stadium with 70,000 fans and we’ll focus on that.”
