"The Europa League is not a burden for us. We care about going forward.

It's true that we haven't put on great performances in the competition, but if we are still in the running it means that the other teams haven't being doing well either.

"We want to win against Lech and qualify."

Marchisio also feels the match presents Juventus with an opportunity to get over Saturday's 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.

"We were a little down, but the spirit within the camp has come back quickly. We're in good physical condition so we are ready for a game that will be anything but easy in a very intense atmosphere.

"The climatic conditions mustn't affect us. Juventus' character is stronger than the cold."
