Marchisio insists Juventus primed for crunch Olympiakos clash

Claudio Marchisio says Juventus players are ready for their crunch Champions League qualifier with Olympiakos.

Juve need victory to keep their qualification hopes alive.

"The approach and the motivation behind these games is always right," Marchisio told Sky Sport 24.

"We certainly do not want to repeat the first half that was played in Athens, on the part of the players.

"But, tomorrow we play at home and have the fans that are always close to us, and who always give us a hand. And as Andrea Pirlo said, this is basically a final for us.

"How do we approach this sort of game? Being aware of our strength. In having this knowledge we can be calm and play like we always have."
