Regarding the players available and the work that needs to be done, the Juventus coach says: "Unfortunately Milik suffered some discomfort in training, he will be re-evaluated after the break: it's a shame, he did well last Sunday and also scored a goal. However, in we have everyone in attack, Kean, Vlahovic, Chiesa and Yildiz. Furthermore, Perin, De Sciglio are back and obviously Rabiot is also available, although he doesn't have the 90 minutes in his legs: we need to be positive. The defensive phase is the one we need to take care of the most beyond the individuals, I mean as a team. Then, it is also true that there are moments in football when you concede few opportunities and many goals, and this is what is happening to us."

They have players who can change the game at any moment. However, as we saw in the first leg, it matters what we want to do on the pitch is what changes the balance of the challenge."
