SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach:

"We will face a top squad that really need to win. I'm expecting the best Juventus of recent times because they need to play a big match and because they need not be left out of the Champions (League). We know we'll be facing a big team, with top players that have the responsibility, the pressure and the obligation of pass the phase. We know the kind of match that expect us and we have to be prepared.

"We will find an atmosphere like a final. In recent times Juventus have been left out of the Champions League, more than once. And now they can't afford to because of their story and their history. I can imagine that their fans will be strongly supporting them and without expecting anything, but they pass the phase because the top players and the story they have. And all this will be taken onto the pitch and we will try to read and resolve the match we need to play, and then play it."
