Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has called on his teammates to ‘play for pride’ in the second leg of their Champions League tie with Real Madrid.
The Bianconeri trail 3-0 from the first leg and face an uphill task to progress to the semi-finals of the competition after their defeat last week.
“For long stretches of the first leg we would have deserved much more than a draw but instead we found ourselves two goals down and a man less,” Chiellini is cited as saying by the Juventus website.
“We're not crying about what happened, and we go to Madrid with the desire to play a good game.
“In football and in life you never know what can happen, and to go there and put on a good display, even in view of next year, would be important.”
