  • Story Text: Juventus has warned Galatasaray not to underestimate
    their will to win their Champions League match in Dortmund.




    "Although we have already qualified no one should
    think we are taking this match lightly tomorrow", Juventus
    coach Marcello Lippi told reporters in Dortmund on Monday
    (December 1).

    "It is our goal to be first in the group. In order to
    achieve this goal we need points. At the moment we have
    qualified but we are not first yet".

    Midfielder Antonio Conte made clear why he was in
    Dortmund.

    "We are here to win", Conte said.

    He was speaking before a training at the Westfalen
    stadium, venue of Tuesday's game.

    Later on Monday, Galatasaray had their training at the
    same stadium as it remained unclear whether national hero
    Hakan Sukur, currently suffering from an injury, would be
    able to play.

    For "security reasons", UEFA ordered the match to be
    held at the neutral venue of Dortmund following the latest
    bomb attacks in Istanbul on November 20 which killed at
    least 30 people and injured more than 400.
