18.50 – Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus) to UEFA.com : ‘Everyone at the club admires and respects Vidal. He had an amazing impact here both on and off the field. He is like a diamond to me.’

18.30 – Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich): ‘I learned a lot at Juventus, especially under the tactical point of view. I was given the chance of training with world class players such as Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Gianluigi Buffon, but now I am happy to be at Bayern Munich.”

“The offensive philosophy of the club is fitting more with my style of play, I am feeling great and I think I can develop a lot here.”

“We’ll have to remain compact against Juve. Kimmich and Alaba made a great work both against Augusta and Damstadt. We’ll have to help them out, but I am confident we’ll get a good result in Turin.”

“I think their defense is amazing, but they are also very strong in midfield. Pogba, Khedira and Cuadrado are unpredictable.”

16.30 Alessandro Del Piero (former Juventus player) to Sky Sport Italia: ‘Juve can win tonight. They have recovered their solidity and it looks like this is  good moment for them. That’s the best time to face Bayern. They will have to travel to the Allianz Arena afterwards, but tonight’s game seems more open than what it appeared to be when Juve were drawn with Bayern last December .’

16.15 - According to Sky Sport Italia, Chelsea Technical Directo Michael Emenalo will attend the game from the stands of the Juventus Stadium.
