Lichtsteiner: 'Real Madrid more than Ronaldo'

Juventus defender Stephan Lichtsteiner has said that his team cannot afford to just focus on Cristiano Ronaldo in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid.

Ronaldo has scored 54 goals in 51 games this season, including Real Madrid's away goal in their 2-1 defeat at Juventus in the first leg.

However, Lichtsteiner has called on the Serie A champions to fully focus on all areas of the Spanish side.

"The game will come down to small details," he told Juve's official television channel. "We have a team. Two years ago, we were eliminated in the quarter-finals against Bayern Munich and they won the Champions League.

"It's all about the minor details - winning a little and losing a little. We have improved with every game. Real Madrid are very strong, not just Ronaldo. We have to prepare well but we have to believe we can do it.

"We had a great match in the first leg, but the return leg is still to come and it'll be very difficult. We have to play well, but we are prepared."

Juventus have not made the final of the Champions League since 2003.
