Sami Khedira: 'Juventus can rely on experience against Tottenham Hotspur'

Midfielder Sami Khedira has claimed that Juventus's experience of featuring in high-profile games gives the Italian giants an advantage over Tottenham Hotspur in their Champions League last-16 tie.

Last month, Spurs rallied to secure a 2-2 draw in Turin, giving the North Londoners the edge on away goals ahead of Wednesday's second leg at Wembley Stadium.

However, Khedira has backed his side to progress through to the last eight of the competition, admitting that Massimiliano Allegri's men are motivated by their failure to win two of the last three finals.

The 30-year-old told Stuttgarter Zeitung: "We have a lot of experience and know how to tackle big games, and we have many other teams ahead of us - including Tottenham.

"We are still not satisfied after the successes in recent years, and that is what stands us apart."

Khedira has made 27 appearances for Juve in all competitions this season.
