Juventus has what
it takes to overturn their last Champions League 16 first first leg deficit,
believes Cristiano Ronaldo. The Italian giants lost 1-0 to Lyon in the first
leg of the Champions League last 16. That was the first time Lyon achieved such
a feat. They had played Juventus four times before, losing thrice and managing
a draw.
This month,
Juventus shall welcome Lyon at the Allianz stadium for the second leg. And
Ronaldo is convinced Juve have what it takes to qualify and move onto the next
stage. He told Sky Sport Italia: "These are things that can happen, it is
football we are not happy with the defeat against Lyon.
"It can
happen in the Champions League because all the matches are difficult. We’re
angry, but there is a return leg at home.
"We are very
confident of reversing the result and passing to the next round, but our
priority now is to win the next games. Then we will think of the Champions
League.
"We are
calm, focused and ready for the next games. We are not afraid of going out, the
Champions League is the most difficult competition in football, all the teams
are complicated, there are no easy games, but as I said we have the return game
that we will play at home in front of our fans.
"We are
confident, in football it can happen. We are sorry for the defeat against Lyon,
but we will play at home, I can’t wait. I am convinced that we will pass the
round."
