What They're Saying
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp (via UEFA): "It is one of the biggest challenges in football: We need a win against an Italian side who need only a draw. We are completely ready. We conceded on the counterattack in Turin, but they also had other chances in the second half. They are incredibly experienced, very clever; but not unbeatable. We have to keep our cool. A 1-0 win would see us through, after all."
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri: "Having a 2-1 lead is certainly not a disadvantage. We know how difficult it will be to go through though, but BVB know about our quality. It is going to be an interesting game. I don't think it will end 0-0, although that would be great for us. We will have to score, of that I am certain. It would be great to get two goals."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: If Juventus are two capture two goals, the scoring prowess of Carlos Tevez will be called upon. In seven Champions League appearances, the 31-year-old has four goals and an average of 2.4 key passes.
