Stephan Lichtsteiner says Juventus now primed for Barcelona

Juventus are primed for their Champions League quarterfinal against Barcelona, says Stephan Lichtsteiner.

Juve warmed up for the first-leg with victory over Chievo.

“We have been waiting for this game for a very long time," Lichtsteiner told Mediaset Premium after their 2-0 win over Chievo.

“It'll be a very different match to this one, but we can't wait to take on Barcelona. We are confident and in good shape.

Barcelona struggle at the back and we are dangerous in attack with this 4-2-3-1 system. We hope to have two great performances and get through to the semi-final."

On Saturday evening, the Blaugrana lost 2-0 to Malaga in La Liga, seeing Neymar sent off.

“We mustn't allow them too much room, because if in defence you're in a one-on-one situation with one of their forwards, you'll be in trouble.

“It's not easy to win everything, but we are working on it."
