Juventus are far from showing stability or quality of the season, but this time there is no more room for error: The old lady will host Porto tomorrow (Tuesday, 22:00, Sports Channel) for the Champions League quarter-final rematch, knowing she should not stumble in this battle.

Porto, the Portuguese champions, beat the Italian champions 1: 2 in the first game, and given the fact that Juventus will probably not win the Serie A championship this season (now 7 points away from leaders Inter), there is no doubt that the old lady is investing most of her energy in the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo, hoping to make the long-awaited leap with him.

"It's like a final for us," Andrea Pirlo said.

"We know the pressure is on us, but we will not hide from him. We have what it takes to get through a stage. These are Ronaldo's games, he has been given a chance to rest and can no longer wait to get on the pitch."

moment of truth.

In the previous game Ronaldo was not at his best.

Goals by Iranian striker Mehdi Termi and Musa Marga gave the Portuguese a 0-2 lead, Yuba looked lost, but Federico Keiza managed to shrink with an important foreign goal.

Ronaldo's balance against Porto includes just one win in seven meetings and just one goal, but Yuva hopes he will once again do his magic in the factory he loves so much.

Yuba remembers that last year she returned to Italy after a 2-0 loss to Atletico in the first game of the quarter-finals, and the Portuguese star answered with a hat-trick that sent his team to the next stage.

At 36, is he able to pull magic off his sleeve again?

By the way, if Yuva wins, Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to equal Iker Casillas' record of 177 appearances in the quarter-finals.

The good news comes from Giorgio Chiellini and Mathis de Licht who returned to training, with the Dutchman expected to open in the center of defense alongside Leonardo Bonucci.

Injured Rodrigo Bentancor who is positive for Corona and injured Paolo DiBalla will be absent.

"We will go on the field with the spirit of Juventus, with modesty and with respect," Bonucci said.

"We need a goal and we can conquer it even at the end. It is clear to us that Porto will not only come to defend. We have learned from the mistakes of the first game, we want to lead Yuva where she deserves. Cristiano is always ready for these games, you can imagine his energy for tomorrow."

Porto, on the other hand, came into the game with a good memory of how it led 0: 2, almost went up to 0: 3, but finally absorbed.

She has shown superiority over the Italian champions, but knows that a 0: 1 victory will suffice for Juventus, who in their last 13 games have conceded only 6 goals, despite the many setbacks and injuries.
