What They're Saying
Malmo manager Age Hareide (via UEFA): "If we focus on every individual at Juventus, we will have problems. We would have to man-mark the whole team and we won't be doing that. We know Carlos Tévez is good, but Juventus have plenty of good players. We have chosen to focus on our own game. We have shown we are good at home, so Juventus are welcome tomorrow [Wednesday]. We have to go for the jugular."
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri: "Maybe the Swedish side have an advantage in terms of the pitch as we like to play the ball and play a lot of short passes, so we will suffer more. But we are here to play the whole 90 minutes and we know what needs to be done."
