Juve arrive in Germany

The Bianconeri’s Champions League preparations have officially moved on to German soil after the first-team squad touched down at Dortmund Airport shortly after 16.50 CET today.

Having left a drizzly Vinovo for a 15.30 flight from Caselle, the reigning champions were greeted by glorious spring sunshine upon disembarking the aircraft.

They will now sample more of the local conditions when they head to the venue of tomorrow night’s last 16 encounter, Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion, for a quick look at the surface.

Later on, Massimiliano Allegri and Gigi Buffon will discuss the tie when they meet the media at 18.30.
