Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has warned teammates they have a big target on their backs as Champions League title holders.

Cech is under no illusions as to the size of the task facing Roberto Di Matteo's men.

"Anybody who plays against us will want to raise their game, we are the defending champions so its extra motivation for everybody," Cech told the official Chelsea website.

"We're playing Juventus, who have been missing from the Champions League for a few seasons, so they will definitely want to show they are back.

"Last time we played them we beat them in the knockout stages [in 2009], so this is a chance for them to get revenge for that defeat."
