Vítor Baía, former Porto goalkeeper
Juventus are a very high level team, one of the best in the world. But we are ready. We are going to face the best Portuguese player in history, the national treasure. I just hope that day he won’t be on top. In addition to Cristiano, Juve can count on two Portuguese, Danilo and Alex. These two players marked Porto, they left a sacred memory.
Pavel Nedvěd, former Juventus midfielder
I know the coach well [Sérgio Conceição], we played together at Lazio and he’s a great tactician. [Ronaldo] comes from Sporting so it’s a bit of a derby for him, even though he’s still focused. In these matches, he hardly ever makes mistakes.
