Juventus stars accept they've been handed a difficult Champions League draw with Chelsea. "It's a difficult draw," Alessandro del Piero asserted. "But at this stage of the competition it's clear that all the teams are decent.

"The thing that distinguishes Chelsea from the others is that they have such an excellent squad."

Juve tactician Claudio Ranieri is getting ready to face his past and Mali international Momo Sissoko has memories of Stamford Bridge from his time at Liverpool.

"I always follow English football with interest," Sissoko revealed.

"I think this will be a very tough fixture and we will need to be prepare well.

"Chelsea aren't having the best of times, but they have great players. It will be a close game if both teams are at their best."
