""They are a great team, not only in Germany but also on the European stage," Tudor told a press conference. "This match will be played at home, and we can't wait to start this wonderful competition. "How far can we go in the Champions League? We're definitely not thinking about that right now. We just have to focus on the next challenge, which is against a very strong opponent.""
""We played against the strongest team in Serie A [Inter] in terms of squad potential, and we won without playing at our best. That should make us reflect on our real value and what we could have done better. The Champions League is a different tournament, it's beautiful and fascinating. In my experience as a coach, players forget about tiredness in the Champions League. Everyone's goal is to play. It's a privilege.""
Igor Tudor expects a tough, high-level game against Borussia Dortmund as Juventus kick off their Champions League campaign. Last season Juventus reached the knockout-stage play-offs under Thiago Motta but were eliminated by PSV 4-3 on aggregate, missing the last 16. Tudor took over in March and guided Juventus to a top-four finish. Juventus have started the Serie A season with three wins from three, including a 4-3 win over Inter sealed by Vasilije Adzic's stoppage-time goal. Tudor will become the fourth person to both play for and manage Juventus in the Champions League. Tudor stressed concentrating on the next challenge and noted that Champions League matches inspire players to forget tiredness.
