Although the Giallorossi will compete against the Spanish of Real Sociedad, Allegri's club will battle the Germans of Freiburg. Fiorentina-Sivasspor and Lazio-Az Alkmaar each play in the Conference League.
Juve received a good European draw; Roma received a somewhat worse one. While the Giallorossi take on the Royal Society, Allegri's club will play the Freiburg Germans in the round of 16. In the league standings, Spain is third after Barcelona and Real Madrid. Juve and Roma will play the opening match at home. March 9 is the date of the first leg, while March 16 is the date of the second leg.
"Friborg must be taken with a grain of salt," said Pessotto (Juve).
For Juve, Gianluca Pessotto was in Nyon. "Facing a quality squad that is performing well in the league and is unbeaten going into this round will be a big challenge, unheard of. AND an opponent to take lightly, but we're prepared," the veteran Juventus defender declared.
Conference L rivals of Lazio and Fiorentina.
Lazio will play the Dutch of Az Alkmaar in the Conference League, while Fiorentina will play the Turks of Sivasspor. The first leg is set for March 9, but Lazio will play on March 7 instead because Roma must play Real Sociedad at the Olimpico on Thursday. The second leg is set for March 16. "AZ Alkmaar is a powerful squad that is also enjoying a good season in the Eredivisie and offers great football, with ingredients capable of putting any opponent in difficulty," stated sporting director Igli Tare. The objective is still to advance further, possibly all the way to the round of 16, Tare said.
