It will only be Juventus’ second season in the Champions League, but Rita Guarino is already sure of how she will line-up her squad at Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta in Alessandria and is confident with the players he has at his disposal.
“We've trained well; working on every detail. I have the line-up in my mind, but we will breakdown the final doubts tomorrow,” she said before adding. “The match at Allianz Stadium changed things, it brought the public closer to women's football and the Women’s World Cup did the rest. Tomorrow there will be a lot of people at the game, and I hope this becomes the norm. Barcelona are built to win the Women’s Champions League, but I am happy with my team."
Captain Sara Gama also answered the media’s questions, where she addressed various topics ahead of tomorrow’s home encounter.
"We have our qualities and we will use them. We respect everyone, but we fear no one,” added the central defender. “The opponent is important, but we are thinking about facing the match with an open mind. We have shown that we can play well, and, after the experience of the World Cup, we have gained awareness. We will miss Cecilia Salvai but in her place, there will be a great player, which is Linda Sembrant.”
