"We've come off two hard games that took their toll both mentally and physically, so we can't afford to switch off". Sturaro is naturally a hard-working player and covered plenty of ground, just like Mandzukic on the left-hand side of the 4-2-3-1 formation. "I know their quality really well as I play with them for the national team, so we will have to be very careful against two players who can decide a game with a piece of individual brilliance".
"I admire him as a teammate and as an opponent, and although we'll be on the same pitch, I'll do everything to win".
Gonzalo Higuain opened the scoring for Juve after 28 minutes, before the striker doubled his second and sealed the win in the 84th minute. "They have our respect".
Allegri's men have only conceded twice in this season's Champions League but the coach said he will be naming an attacking line-up for Tuesday's opening leg although defensive solidity will still be important.
The two teams have been involved in some major Champions League clash including the 2015 final, where Barcelona won the title, beating Juventus 3-1.
Barcelona will count on their famed attack to make early inroads but they will come up against arguably the continent's best defence, based on the "BBC" line-up of Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini, underpinned by veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. "That's when I played their game and signed a renewal, which included a clause that allowed me to leave for free a year later".
"We understand how appealing this contest is and how appealing it's to play a quarterfinal against Juventus".
Higuain, who set a 36-goal record in Serie A while with Napoli last season, took his Serie A tally for the season to 21 in 32 games.

"When you have Leo Messi, Neymar, Luis Suarez and Andres Iniesta, not to mention the others, it's rare you get an off night".
"There were rumours last summer, as often happens in the summer transfer window", Mascherano said in the Press conference ahead of tomorrow's Champions League meeting between the sides.
"Messi is the best in the world and has been the best for many years".
How do you think Barcelona will approach the quarter-final after their comeback against Paris Saint-Germain?
"Look, the truth is that I've adapted more to play as a stopper, as a right-back or right wing-back at times".
As with any match involving Barcelona, analyzing what kind of impact possession will have seems to be a waste of time.
Gonzalo Higuain has scored only two goals in 22 Champions League knockout games. Such performances show the belief that the players have in their squad so the Malaga result might not matter much when it comes to Champions League.
