Juventus fullback Evra: AC Milan our first big test

Juventus fullback Patrice Evra was pleased with their opening Champions League win over Malmo. It was the first victory in two seasons in the competition.

"We don't peddle dreams, so we are not here saying we can win the Champions League this year," Evra told JTV after beating Malmo 2-0.

"However, we are taking one game at a time with great confidence. Juve have an important history and we need to respect it by winning in Europe too."

Their first major test is this Saturday night at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza against joint Serie A leaders Milan.

"This is the kind of game I wanted to play when I arrived. They will be on home turf, so it is up to us to prove we are champions."
