Real hold no fear for Juventus boss

JUVENTUS coach Marcello Lippi is coming to the Spanish capital brimming with confidence ahead of tonight’s European Champions League semi-final first leg with holders Real Madrid.

“I’m not worried by Real Madrid,” said the coach of the team nicknamed ‘The Old Lady of Turin.’

“No real champion loses 5-1 at home to a middle-of-the-table side. It tells me there is something wrong there because it’s difficult to think of any way that we could end up losing 5-1 at home” commented Lippi, reflecting on Real’s 5-1 loss at home to Real Mallorca on Saturday.
