Juventus are preparing to depart for Jeddah where they face their second all-or-nothing cup tie in the space of five days and the chance to claim their first piece of silverware this season. “It’s a final, a one-off game so different from the others,” Alex Sandro explained. “We’re not quite at 100% yet following the break so we need to be very careful and fully focused in order to play well.”
AC MILAN
“They’ve got loads of top-quality players like Gonzalo Higuain, who we know well - we're aware how important he can be. There’s also Lucas Paqueta, who I know. He’s got great technique and sees things before everyone else."
NEXT STOP JEDDAH
“I’ve been to Saudi Arabia with my national team, but it will be a new and interesting experience for us. In any case, we’re ready to play anywhere.”
ALEX SANDRO E LA JUVE
«Sto benissimo alla Juve, ed è per questo che ho rinnovato e sono contento che anche il Club abbia voluto farlo. Non penso ad altre squadre, sono felicissimo qui ed è qui che voglio continuare a stare».

It’s always tough to play against them but we have to do our job.”
