Giorgio Chiellini: Barcelona are like sharks, they smell blood
The defender is aware of the threat the Catalan side pose
He highlights the importance of scoring an away goal at Camp Nou
Giorgio Chiellini doesn't think Juventus have won their Champions League quarter-final over Barcelona yet, despite winning the first leg 3-0 in Turin.
In quotes to 'Sky Sport', he made it clear he's aware how dangerous Barça can be in games like this: "They're like sharks: the feel it, they smell blood. We have to keep them away from the door."
The Italy defender highlighted the need to get an away goal. "We're half way through the tie, we have to try to score goals, we can't play with any fear. To put the brakes on Barcelona, scoting a goal would be a decisive injection of confidence."
Juve hope to be able to count on Paulo Dybala to score those goals. The Argentine was taken off at the weekend with an ankle injury and didn't train on Sunday, but the Serie A side are confident he will be fit to make the squad.
Dybala is a key piece of the Juventus side. He scored two of the goals in the first leg and a goal at Camp Nou would leave Barça needed to score five to progress to the semi-final.
