Nedved, Juventus wary of Bayern

Juventus director Pavel Nedved believes Bayern Munich are to be one of the ‘most feared’ sides remaining in the Champions League this season.

The reigning Italian champions were drawn against Bayern in the quarter-finals on Friday after Juve comfortably overcame Celtic, while Bayern went through after putting out Arsenal on away goals.

And Nedved knows the side are going to be in for a tough match when they play Jupp Heynckes’ outfit.

“The Germans are strong and skilled, but above all they’re experts in this situation and that’s their main characteristic,” the 40-year old told Sky Italia.

“We’ll be up against a side who are among the most feared in the competition. Bayern are a team with experience in this competition, but we’re also aware of our strengths.”

Nedved added: “We’re very proud to be here as representatives of Italy and above all among the best eight in Europe. It’s the maximum as far as we’re concerned, after plenty of suffering.”

The first leg will be played on April 2 at the Allianz Arena followed by the return leg at Juventus Stadium on April 10.
