Giorgio Chiellini: 'Real Madrid more than Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo'

Chiellini: 'Madrid more than Bale, Ronaldo'

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has said that merely focusing on Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo is a dangerous tactic ahead of their match against Real Madrid in the Champions League tonight.

The Italy international said that Madrid have more about them than just the two players ahead of their trip to Santiago Bernabeu.

"Just talking about Bale and Ronaldo is reductive, because all of Real Madrid's individuals are very talented," Chiellini told reporters.

"We respect Real, but want to prove we can do well in this stadium where everyone suffers. A game like this can get the best out of Juventus and provide a positive turning point.

"We need to really want it, though."

Madrid are currently top of Group B with maximum points from their first two games, while Juve are second with two points.
