What They're Saying
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri (via UEFA): "Nobody is saying they are better than us, but they are very fast and technically strong up front. They are well-organized and play good football, particularly in attack. Playing at home, it is fundamental that we don't concede. They score a lot, though. [Jürgen] Klopp has done great things. He has rebuilt Borussia since 2006, winning the Bundesliga and doing great things in Europe. I don't know what we have in common, but he's definitely a great coach."
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp: "We knew we would be much stronger in the second half of the season. It's the last 16. We've won three in a row. It's a great situation. We know that the day after tomorrow, our relegation battle goes on. But tomorrow night [Tuesday], you're not going to see that we're in a relegation battle in the Bundesliga."
Tactical Preview
