The one that awaits Juventus Women on Wednesday will undoubtedly be nothing short of a magical night. The spectacle will be Juve-Chelsea and it will take place at the Allianz Stadium. It will be a night in which Juventus Women, who are in the top 16 of European football, will host a great match, and they do it whilst sitting in first place in their group.
Less than a week ago the Bianconere beat Servette in Geneva 0-3, while just hours later, Chelsea drew in their debut match against Wolfsburg. On the field, Joe Montemurro's ladies showcased maturity, strength, and quality. The impressive result was a pure indication that the Italian Champions are determined to do their best in the Champions League and certainly not play the role of supporting actors....

HOW DID THE BIANCONERE GET TO THE POINT OF LIVING THEIR DREAM?
Juve began their European journey by scoring 16 goals in the space of a few days at Vinovo. 12 against Kamenica Sasa and four, shortly after, versus St. Polten.
It was August, it was hot, the season had just started, but the Bianconere were already making it clear what kind of grit they were made of.
However, there was still another obstacle to overcome, and it was a double-legged affair: to face the Albanian champions of Vllaznia. Once again, the Bianconere showcased their power with two victories: the first, away from home in a convincing 0-2 win with goals from Girelli and Hurtig, the second, at Vinovo, with Staskova's only goal of the game securing a 1-0 win that effectively proved to be a historic result: Juve qualified for the Top 16 in Europe.
GOALS. STORIES. EMOTIONS.
Playing a match like the one on Wednesday, in a stadium that will be overflowing with passion, against one of the top teams in continental football, is a goal achieved, a dream come true, and at the same time, a starting point.
Here is what Martina Rosucci thinks of the grand occasion.
And so, here we go. We'll all be there on Wednesday - ready to cheer along our team and to dream for a few more minutes. Just being at this stage of the tournament is a dream that has turned into a reality for our ladies... But reality will have a new beginning on Wednesday, and so if you haven't done so yet, you are all invited to push our girls in going after their next big dream.
