Former Barcelona right back Dani Alves never held back when speaking about his opponents, and this time, the Brazilian defender landed a few blows on Real Madrid's pride.
Speaking in the pre-match press conference, a confident Alves stepped up and admitted Juventus should take care of things in order to exorcize demons from their past UCL defeats, including the one against Los Blancos that happened due to a controversial decision.
"This is not Alves vs Real Madrid, it's Juventus vs Real Madrid. Last time, they won against Juve with an offside goal. Let's see if this time everyone does their job and we can walk away with the win," Alves stated.
Alves believes his experience could come in handy to help Juve reach their third UCL title in history after four straight losses.
"I already know what it feels like to win it, but they don't. I believe someone as great as Buffon should have already won it. But that doesn't matter. I'm just a worker, and we need to put up one more effort to win it. I hope we can do so before Buffon calls it quits," Alves added.
The Brazilian defender has been involved in 7 goals (3 goals, 4 assists) in ten UCL games for Juventus. Needless to say, his contribution will be key to beat Real Madrid on Saturday.
