Juventus resume their battle for a Champions League quarter-final place on Tuesday evening, as the Italian giants host Porto trailing by a goal from the first leg.
Needing to overturn a deficit in the last-16 for the second year in a row, the Bianconeri will look to overcome injury troubles and inconsistent form to dispatch their talented Iberian counterparts in Turin.
With the Champions League trophy proving elusive for so long, coach Andrea Pirlo would be relieved if his charges can take the next step towards continental glory on Tuesday night.
