“It’s a difficult place to go, so we’ll have to play a good game,” Pjanic told Sky.

“It’s a game in which we want to take all three points, we know we’ll have to fight to the end and it’ll be a game which comes down to the details.

“We have a lot of respect for these opponents, so we need to be humble but above all we want to take home three points.

Juve Coach Massimiliano Allegri complained that his side keep dropping in intensity, after they came close to throwing away the win against Atalanta in the Coppa Italia.

“We just have to keep our concentration. It shouldn’t be happening, we need to close out games earlier.

“We’re going forward, we’re working well and we’re getting results but there are some details which we need to correct.

“Up until now the team has always been able to correct what we’ve been doing wrong and we want to do that in the coming games.”

Pjanic also discussed his understanding with forward Paulo Dybala.

The Bosnian has three goals and five assists in his last eight games, while Dybala has scored in his last two games as he recovers from an injury lay-off.

“The objective is always to find ourselves between the lines,” Pjanic explained.

“Then we have the freedom to combine with each other and switch positions up-front. We find each other on the pitch very often and it’s easy and a pleasure to play with him in the side.

“We have so many good players and we respect that the Coach tries to put the best team out on the pitch.

“And as I’ve said, I make space for Dybala and he makes space for me. We combine, and now we understand each others’ movements well.”
