Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo admits Leonardo Bonucci and Paulo Dybala are out of their Champions League clash with Porto.
However, Pirlo says Aaron Ramsey is fit for the game.
“They are called up, they will travel with us,” he said. “Bonucci and Dybala are not available, while Ramsey is.
“They will travel with us because they want to be with the team.”
He continued: “It will be a very complicated game, they are a team that defends well.
“Very compact, Atletico Madrid style, with two lines of four.
“It will take patience and we can’t force the plays because they have good players to counterattack.”
Pirlo ‘dreams of going all the way’ in the Champions League, as Juventus aim for their first success since 1995-96.
“The Champions League is a particular competition, the difference from the championship is big,” he continued.
“There are many teams who want to win, but it depends on how you get there mentally and physically.
“We are at the level of the others, some maybe have a bigger advantage, but when you reach the knockout stages, everyone dreams of going all the way.” (Tribal Football)
