Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri would welcome drawing Tottenham in the Champions League round of 16.

Despite Jose Mourinho's tense relationship with Juve fans, Sarri insists the Spurs manager isn't all bad.

After victory at Bayer Leverkusen last night, Sarri remarked: "I was lucky enough to get to know him and I have a great level of consideration for him.

"He is a person of an extraordinary level, also very different from the image that one has on the outside. I think it was fortunate to get to know him.

"Playing against him is not easy, seeing him again would be nice."
