Secco: We Are Not Scared Of Chelsea

Juventus face Chelsea in the next round, but they are not afraid of rumbling with last season's runners up...

Claudio Ranieri faces a home-coming when he takes Juventus to Stamford Bridge in the last sixteen of the Champions League, but the Italians are not afraid of meeting the Premier League side.

The Old Lady face a tricky test when they travel to London in February, and Ranieri will be hoping to get one over his former employers.

Juve's sporting director Alessio Secco was in Nyon for the draw and he is confident of his side's abilities.

"We all know what happened when we were drawn against Real Madrid and Zenit in the group stage and we came out of that," Secco told Sky Sport Italia.

"We went to Madrid and did the double over them and so we can play against any team.

"We are not afraid of any side in this competition and we have possibilities.

"We respect all the teams but we will play our own game.

"It will be a speacial game for Ranieri. He accepts the draw with tranquility. I haven't spoken to him about it but I know he will be fine. This is football and it throws these things up."

Juve will fancy their chances against the Blues as they have been shaky at times in Europe this term.
