Rudi Garcia Watch Juventus Collectively, Not Just CR7

DBasia.news –  Rudi Garcia, Olympique Lyonnais coach, sees the threat from Juventus in the last 16 of the Champions League not only coming from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Olympique Lyon will face a strong opponent, Juventus, in the last 16 of the Champions League. In the first leg held in February, Lyon will be the host. Then, Lyon will travel to the Allianz Stadium in March.

One of the Juve players who most threatens Lyon is Cristiano Ronaldo. The former Real Madrid has a slick record in the Champions League. Ronaldo is also still diligently scoring goals at the age of 34 years.

“It’s always nice to face the best players on the planet. In addition, Juventus also have one of the best defenses in Europe,” explained Rudi Garcia on Lyon’s official account.

Although Ronaldo looks dangerous, but Rudi Garcia reminds Lyon players not to get hung up on the superstar. Garcia revealed Juve still had Miralem Pjanic who was the regulator of the attack. In addition, Juventus star players are increasingly dangerous with tactics from Maurizio Sarri.

“We are happy to be able to play Cristiano Ronaldo. Miralem Pjanic is also a quality player. He is very strong technically and a big threat from Juventus. In addition, Maurizio Sarri is a great coach with a wealth of experience.”

Cristiano Ronaldo has made 89 appearances in the Champions League. The number is adrift of five appearances from other Real Madrid legends, Iker Casillas, who has shown 94 times.
