Speaking before tonight's game with Juventus their Czech Republic international thinks the Italians are in a good position to win.

Pavel Nedved said: "We must play with the same motivations, trying to make an attacking game. Champions League? It could be the right year.

"We were all good against Parma, especially Ferrara and Montero, we faced the match with the right mentality, as we must play when we are away [to United]."

He added: "We must go to Manchester with the same determination, trying to make an attacking game. They are extremely good when attacking, so we won't have to let them play and attack.

"Our group is difficult, and everything but over, we want to succeed and go on in the Champions League, because this could be the right year."

What a shame it would be if he came down with the flu.

Meanwhile Juve's stand in goalkeeper Antonio Chimenti is looking forward to the biggest game of his life this evening. He said

"I'm not nervous, it's exciting knowing you are going to play against one of the strongest sides in the world.

"This is the chance I have been waiting for since I joined Juventus last year. I spoke to Gigi (Buffon) and told him to stay in bed, take it easy and not get better too quickly.

We will have to be alert because Manchester United put a lot of crosses into the box and we have to be able to cope with so many high balls."
