Juventus veteran Chiellini: Real Madrid clash bigger than simple revenge
Posted Tuesday, April 03, 2018 by tribalfootball.com
Juventus veteran Giorgio Chiellini says revenge isn't on their mind facing Real Madrid in their Champions League quarterfinal.
The tie is a repeat of last season's Cardiff final won by Real.
"No revenge, we have positive and negative memories against everyone," Chiellini shrugged.
"If you want to get to the Champions League you have to play the big clubs, we also have good memories, Cardiff apart.
"Playing the best is always a great incentive.
"There's respect and esteem, but that doesn't mean we can't beat them. There's respect for everyone, and when you face a team you really respect it's even better to beat them.
"The differences from the final? We're playing two games, not one, and we've changed as players.
"We need to put our qualities on show for as long as possible, we need enthusiasm from everyone. We need the fans, because Real can let you believe you're in control of a match and then hurt you."
