Juve must believe, says Pirlo
Andrea Pirlo has urged his Juventus team-mates to keep believing in themselves as they prepare for their Champions League clash with Bayern Munich.
The Serie A champions were beaten 2-0 by the German outfit at the Allianz Arena last week, yet Pirlo remains optimistic about his side's chances of making it to the semi-finals of the competition.
"We have to believe in ourselves and be convinced that we can turn things around," the influential midfielder said ahead of the second leg of their quarter-final tie on Wednesday.
"I was there in Istanbul and La Coruna, I learned the hard way that everything's possible.
"In Istanbul, Milan were leading 3-0 against Liverpool and we were convinced we would win the Champions League. The game finished 3-3, though, and we lost after penalties.
"And then there's the tie against Deportivo La Coruna. After the 4-1 win at San Siro, we lost the away game 4-0. And we were Milan, not just any other team..."
