Giovanni Trapattoni says ‘Bayern would win a boxing match’ but thinks history favours Juventus ahead of tonight’s Champions League clash.
Trap coached both clubs during his career and gave his thoughts ahead of tonight’s last 16 first leg at Juventus Stadium.
“When you come to knockout matches, it’s inevitable that you’ll face strong team,” he said to TuttoJuve.
“They are two teams with great tradition, great personality and players who are used to continually dealing with pressure and able to decide games.
“I don’t know what condition Bayern will arrive in this evening. Typically at this time of year my teams started to have a dip in their condition because they showed signs of fatigue due to all those matches played close together.
“In terms of the result, they are all players who don’t tremble before a big event. Whether it’s in Turin or Munich.
“I think Khedira could be the right solution, because we’re talking about an international player who has great technical ability and it’s important that he’s available for the match.
“History teaches that we’ve beaten them. If it was a boxing match they would win on points, but since here we count goals, we’ve always got one over on them.
“If we manage to get a positive result this evening, Juve will then have a 51 per cent chance.”
