Carlos Tevez hailed Juventus' performance after their Champions League semifinal triumph over Real Madrid.

Juve had won the first leg 2-1 in Turin and reached the final with a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu.

"I think the team played two great games and we can go to Berlin," Tevez told Sport Mediaset.

"The important thing was to qualify and Juventus hadn't been in a Final for such a long time. We had to get the victory."

It'll be a battle of the Argentine forwards in Berlin, as Tevez takes on Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

"We'll be facing the best Messi, so must prepare very well for the game. He is a phenomenon and I think it's going to be a great game."
