Villarreal defender Pau Torres excited facing 'favourites' Juventus

Villarreal defender Pau Torres is excited facing Champions League opponents Juventus.

Villarreal host Juve for the first-leg of their round 16 tie.

Torres said, "I think Juventus are favourites, but I also think we can surprise them and eliminate them.

"Yes, I think they are a team that is more used to playing these kind of games and knockout games. They do it every year and that makes them the most experienced. But this does not mean that we do not think that we can eliminate them, because of illusion and hunger, no one is going to beat us. But the role of favourite is for them.

"It is true that this year they are not so good. It seems that several teams are appearing in the Italian League that are competing well with them. Teams like Atalanta, the return of Inter and Milan, have evened things out. They may have starteda badly, but they have been reinforced very well in the winter market and that has made them grow and improve."
