Champions League on Tuesday night
"These are the great nights, the fantastic ones: the Champions League nights".

Juventus TV microphones,
cannot wait to take to the pitch on Tuesday night: "The team is
confident of playing a great game and I am too. We are ready to
experience a special night, both on the field and in the stands."
Ronaldo knows the opposition very well, having faced Atletico Madrid
many times, scoring a total of 22 goals against them: "Everyone knows
that they are a strong team, they defend very well, they don't take a
lot of risks and they play on the counter-attack, but we are ready, and
we will do everything we can to beat them. The fine details will make
the difference, and we want to win and qualify for the quarter-finals.
Football is like this, we didn't expect to lose the first leg 2-0, but
anything can happen, and we want to give a great response in our home,
in front of our fans."
Cristiano adds: "We are having an excellent season and we now have
two objectives: Serie A and the Champions League - With regards to his
accolades, having won titles in Portugal, England, Spain and now Italy,
scoring an incredible 697 goals in 984 games, Ronaldo had this to say - "I
have no secrets, just my dedication and my passion for this sport, I
love to play football more than anything else. I've enjoyed myself in
Portugal, England and Spain and I am now doing so in Italy, for me it's a
pleasure to score goals and to help my team win, I'm happy."
Returning to Tuesday, Cristiano concludes the interview: "To the fans
I say: think positive, let's believe. It's possible, but we need your
help, because we’re going to do our job on the pitch and we need your
support. Get ready to comeback!"
