MASSIMILIANO CANZI
"Benfica have victories and titles in their DNA. They finished last season with 20 wins, two draws, and a goal difference of +55. They have changed coaches and embarked on a new path with a proactive style of play. It will certainly be an open game, and they will come to the Allianz Stadium looking for a win. I always expect us to be proactive and dominant where we can. I expect to see courage, our recent history should help us.”
"I personally lacked experience at the international level, but I think the key word could be balance in Europe. In a league, as this phase will ultimately be, even if there are only six games, I believe that in the long run, in addition to points, goal difference could be a very important factor. We must be very good at maintaining balance during matches. These six games against six different teams will certainly be a new world for us to face. We will try to go as far as possible, as in every competition."
MARTINA ROSUCCI
"Evenings at the Allianz Stadium are always magical, there's an incredible atmosphere every time. Those who have played here already know it, while we've been telling our new teammates about it over the last few days. General Manager Comolli's visit this morning was very special, it's important for us to have this confidence. They believe strongly in us, we were very pleased and we were all excited. All these gestures make us understand what it means to be at Juventus. What we have done in these eight years is also seen abroad, and I am very proud of that. The journey we have made in recent years has been incredible, and we will try to make our mark in Europe too. Benfica are a strong team, it will be an open game, and we will do everything we can to win. We are focused on tomorrow's game."
“The format of the Women's Champions League has changed, and we will experience something new. It changes completely because there is no time to study each other, and it will be all one-off matches. We always look forward to facing new opponents. Goals? We always want to improve, and we will give it our all. Clearly, in the top European competition, everything is more difficult, but that makes us more motivated.”
