Juventus will face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League however Pavel Nedved insists “in the Champions League there aren’t any favourites.”
The first of the tw0-legged ties will be played on 14–15 and 21–22 February 2017, with the second legs taking place 7–8 and 14–15 March 2017.
“Everyone’s saying we’re the favorites, but in the Champions League there aren’t any favourites,” Nedved told Tuttomercatoweb.
“Going all the way will be really complicated, it’s a difficult and complicated competition, nothing’s easy and all the games are complicated.
“I’m never satisfied with the draw, you never know who awaits you. We’ll play this tie in two months, it’s difficult to speak after the draw.
“Porto? We mustn’t underestimate anyone, we have to be careful. I know what it’s like to play in the Champions League, we have to face these matches with maximum concentration.”
Lol i’m never satisfied either after a CL draw. Funny that Nedved mentions this.
Its a good draw. I believe we are strong favourites. We’ll face much tougher competition. Roma did theirs to let Porto slip through to group stages and even with nine men had their chances. If we go out with Porto it will be a huge no let me say epic disapiontment.
Nedved being professional, but the truth is this is probably the easiest possible draw! We should be careful, but we are red hot favorite to reach quarterfinals!
I am quite happy with this draw. Porto is a strong team, but not the toughest we could get. Plus it is a team we haven’t faced recently, which is for me the biggest positive about this draw. Here we come Porto!
here we come porto!
We need this cup. We need this triumph. All season we live for these matches. We can not simply mess it up wih this opposition. Every player knows that sooner or later will gonna make it. Last year we were frankly better than BM. Come mon guys lets make this year THE YEAR. Its all we wish after 2006 to regain top spot in Europe and in the world. And after 11 years from when they forged a story to stop us for i remember going out from work to watch Juve serie B Matches saturday afternoon. No team would have survived with what they did to us. They need to do it for all of us true supporters and all time lovers of Juventus.
We got a favorable draw, but this is the Cl, so no room at all for complacency.
Looking at the calender, we have palermo, PORTO and samp in feb. I hope we go for those away goals in the first leg. At least a 3-0 victory.
2nd leg, we ll be up against milan before we face porto. They ll be fresher and er cant doubt them either. Before the round of 16 rolls around, i hope to have a wider gap between us and 2nd.

this would be fantastic plus witsel for 6m and we are perfectly done
Holy cow, 75mill euro
Other reports say 2 of the players will cost a combined 25m euro. So where has the extra 50m come from in this gossip?
No idea mate, just rumours I guess
but for 3 players aged 19-22, thats 25m per player, we sold pogba for 110m mate
It is way too much for 3players with little experience and just half a season of impressing.
Transfer deals are completely crazy these days. Pogba wasnt worth that much either
