Match preview
Having established a first leg lead at Allianz Stadium, will Juventus finish the job in Germany?
Last Thursday, the only goal of the night in Turin was scored by Ángel Di María, an emphatic header, getting on the end of Filip Kostić’s cross.
So, will the 1977, 1990 and 1993 winners of this competition march on into the quarter-finals?
Having been hit with a 15-point penalty, la Vecchia Signora are currently seventh in Serie A, ten points below A.C. Milan in fourth.

In stark contrast to their visitors, this is Freiburg’s first-ever knockout phase tie, simply seeking to claim a major scalp.
So, will the recently-opened Europa-Park Stadion witness it’s most famous night, or will Juventus make their narrow advantage count?
