What They're Saying
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri (via UEFA): "It's going to be a different game [to the reverse fixture]. We're at home and have the fans behind us. Maybe we'll win and it's not enough to come first. It's fundamental that Juve reach the last 16. We've got to try to win, but they'll be looking to defend the top spot. We lost in Madrid and in Athens and I don't think we deserved to. We were chickens in Madrid, and in Athens we didn't score. We're playing to snatch first place. They're playing to defend it."
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone: "From what I read in the papers, we're getting better and better, but I think we can get better still. It's a very important game for the final group standings. Juventus can go out if they lose, and that makes the game even more intriguing."
