While training for the crucial match, Valencia goalkeeper Roberto Neto said his team has great expectations from this match and that results totally depend on their own performance.

"We have great expectations from this match. We really want to get a result here because at the end it will be the only result that will keep us alive (in UCL), and it depends only on our own performance. We will find a difficult atmosphere here. They are a top side and are upset about their last result in the Champions (League). But the most important thing is that we have great quality and all we need to do is play our own game. And this is all we need to do to get the result tomorrow," he said.

With Manchester United on seven points and facing a home game against bottom club Young Boys of Switzerland on Tuesday, Valencia really have to win at Juventus Stadium to keep their last 16 hopes alive.

Talking about the big match today, Valencia coach Marcelino Garcia Toral said that his team is quite excited for this match and they are coming with the intention to win.&nbsp;

''This is a football match that we await with great excitement. This is the best clubs' competition in the world. We're coming with the intention to win here. The result will depend on our performance. And with this in mind we are going to play this match. It will be a long match, a difficult one and it may be tortuous but the squad is in good shape. It will also be difficult for our opponents to play against us,'' he said.

Marcelino's men come into the game on a run of three straight wins and haven't been beaten away from home in eight matches across all competitions.

Defending European champions <a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=Real+Madrid">Real Madrid</a> will be clashing against <a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=Roma">Roma</a> on November 27 at the Olimpico Stadium in the Italian capital. Real have a chance to take control of <a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=Champions+League">Champions League</a> Group G if they beat Roma.

Ahead of Tuesday's big clash Real defender Daniel Carvajal said that it will be a tough match and they will have to prove themselves tomorrow by keeping a cool head and managing the game.

"Tomorrow will be a tough match, one more battle for us. We want to finish first in the group, so we have to prove that tomorrow. It's clear we have to 'grow a pair' like the coach said, but it is also about keeping a cool head and managing a game, I think it's the combination of all those things that allow you to win," said Daniel Carvajal.

Santiago Solari's men are under pressure once again this season following a 3-0 defeat at Eibar in the Spanish league on November 24.

"It was a tough loss obviously, but the match against Eibar is in the past now," said the head coach, who put Madrid back on track after taking over from Julen Lopetegui, clinching four consecutive wins as an interim coach.

Meanwhile, Real coach defended Sergio Ramos, saying he is an honest man and a symbol for the whole sporting world in Spain.&nbsp;

"Sergio Ramos is, first of all, an honest man, he is a symbol for not just Real Madrid or Spanish football, but for the whole sporting world in Spain. It seems to me it should be everybody's duty to protect him, and it is the media's duty as well to do so. Journalism is there for us to seek the truth and inform on the truth. Then you have opinions, positions, but the truth is not debatable, especially when a person's honour is stained," he said.

Madrid head into Tuesday's game tied with Roma at the top of UCL Group G with nine points from four matches.

A win in Italy will secure first place for the three-time defending champions.

<a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=Manchester+United">Manchester United</a> coach <a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=Jose+Mourinho">Jose Mourinho</a> has asked his players to stay at home and watch the match on TV if they cannot handle the pressure to perform at Old Trafford against Young Boys in <a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=Champions+League">UEFA Champions League</a>.

"If you feel pressure, stay at home. When I say home, I don't mean the stadium, I mean home, home and watch on TV. If you feel pressure to play where the people come to support, come on. I never feel pressure to play at home," he said.

The United manager spoke of his frustrations with his team's sub-par performances before the match against Swiss side Young Boys, saying he wanted his players "not to be reactive but proactive".

"I want the team to start strong, I want the team to have a go immediately and it is a bit frustrating," he said.

Mourinho said defender Victor Lindelof would likely be out of action for "quite a while" with an injury.

"(Lindelof) does the scan (Tuesday) but, by the experience of the medical department and the feelings of the player, he has a muscular problem and a muscular problem takes time," he added.

"I would say if we have him for the Christmas period -- where we need, if possible, every player to be available for that difficult period until the Newcastle match on January 2 -- if we can have Victor available for that period, it will be good."

Manchester United will go against Youngs boys on November 27. United stands at the second position in Group H on League table whereas Young Boys are places at last with just one point.

<a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=AS+Roma">AS Roma</a> coach Eusebio Di Francesco on Monday said that his side will have 'to believe' ahead of <a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=Champions+league">UEFA Champions League</a> match against European champions <a href="http://www.wionews.com/search?q=Real+Madrid">Real Madrid</a>.

"I have always felt great confidence from AS Roma, but football is football and the result of tomorrow will be important to be the first in the group. We have to believe and we have to try.

During a news conference in Rome, Di Francesco said his team will have to believe in a win ahead of today's match against Los Blancos in order to keep the lead of Group G. He added that Solari's side is technical similar to Julen Lopetegui's but also that, at a psychological level, Los Blancos are now different because of their poor performance in Spanish championship.

Di Francesco's future is now said to be under threat, some media reports saying he has been given two games to inspire an improvement.

Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius suffered a concussion shortly before the blunders which gifted Real Madrid their Champions League final crown last month, two Boston doctors who examined the shot-stopper revealed on Monday.

A statement from doctors Ross Zafonte and Lenore Herget said Karius had undergone a comprehensive examination at Massachusetts General Hospital on May 31, five days after Liverpool's 3-1 defeat to Madrid in Kiev.

"After carefully reviewing game film and integrating a detailed history ... physical examination and objective metrics, we have concluded that Mr Karius sustained a concussion during the match May 26, 2018," the statement from Zafonte and Herget said.

Karius had complained to match officials in the 49th minute that he had been elbowed in a clash with Madrid defender Sergio Ramos which went unpunished.&nbsp

Two minutes later, Karius committed a howler when he attempted to throw a pass out to the Liverpool defence only for it to go straight to Real striker Karim Benzema for the opening goal of the final.

Karius also erred with Real's third goal, fumbling Gareth Bale's long-range shot into his own net to complete a miserable night for the German goalkeeper.

Zafonte and Herget's statement said it was possible that the concussion had impacted Karius's performance.

"At the time of our evaluation, Mr. Karius’s principal residual symptoms and objective signs suggested that visual-spatial dysfunction existed and likely occurred immediately following the event," the statement said.&nbsp

"Additional symptomatic and objectively noted areas of dysfunction also persisted. It could be possible that such deficits would affect performance."

It added that Karius had shown a "significant and steady improvement since the concussive event".

"We expect him to make a full recovery based on the results of the examination," it added. "We have encouraged vigilance and an emphasis on safety in his eventual return to full activity."

He also mentioned that Ronaldo is available in Real's final league game of the season which is against Villarreal on Saturday, he also mentioned that it will help him in warming up for the big event.

Ronaldo sprained his ankle against Barcelona earlier this month, prompting fears the Portuguese might not make the clash against Liverpool on May 26.

Real can still snatch second place from Atletico Madrid if they win and Atletico lose at home to Eibar on Sunday but Zidane's players will be keener to make their case for a starting spot against Liverpool.

Cristiano Ronaldo '120 per cent' fit for Champions League final: Zinedine Zidane

Real Madrid is up against Juventus in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League and already leading 3-0 by registering an easy victory in the 1st leg.

In the first leg&nbsp;match, Real's star player Cristiano Ronaldo stunned the opponents and scored a sensational overhead bicycle kick. He architected the Real Madrid's win over Serie A leaders Juventus. For his stunning goal, he earned a standing ovation from the Juventus fans as he left the pitch. Also, the goal became one of the most shared UEFA Champions League moments on Twitter.

Now, again he was seen practising the same shot during the training session ahead of Atletico Madrid clash. It seems he got some massive plans for&nbsp;Atletico.

Champions League preview: Real Madrid take on Juventus in quarter-finals

Cristiano Ronaldo&#39;s Real Madrid will continue their bid for a first European Cup treble in 40 years against Neymar&#39;s Paris Saint-Germain after the big-spending duo were on Monday drawn together in a mouth-watering Champions League last 16 clash.

No club has won the European title three years running since Bayern Munich in the mid-1970s, underlining how big an achievement it would be if Madrid -- 12 times winners overall -- won the trophy again in the final in Kiev in May.

They know exactly what it takes to be European champions, and in Ronaldo have the most prolific goal-scorer in the competition&#39;s history.

Emilio Butragueno, a Real director, and former striker, regretted that one of the favourites would be eliminated so soon in the competition.

&quot;For the potential of the two teams, luck has worked out this way and one of the two teams will be out at the last 16 stage, which we think is a bit soon taking into account they are two of the contenders for the title,&quot; Butragueno told BeIN Sports Spain.

PSG made waves in the transfer market in the close season when they signed Brazilian star Neymar for a world-record 222 million euros ($261.5 million), followed closely by great French hope Kylian Mbappe, who will cost 180m euros when his loan deal becomes permanent next summer.

&quot;Every summer they have signed great players, they get stronger all the time and they have had a nearly impeccable group stage,&quot; acknowledged Butragueno.

&quot;With Neymar and Mbappe they have improved a lot up front, they are a very dangerous team who will demand the best of us. We need to face both games like finals and for the fans it will be a thrilling tie.

&quot;Mbappe and Neymar are very dangerous. We need to play at our best, but we can&#39;t forget this team has won the Champions League twice, we hope to have all the injured players back and the key is who has the luck over two games.&quot;

&#39;Big tie of the round&#39;&nbsp;

Butragueno added: &quot;Of course it is the big tie of the round. Chelsea-Barca is important too, but I think for the players that will be on show, it is the most attractive of all the ties.&quot;

PSG ambassador Maxwell said the Real tie threw up the chance for the Parisian club to atone for their 6-1 hammering by Barcelona that eliminated them in the last 16 last season.

&quot;It&#39;s a good draw, with two good games to play,&quot; Maxwell said. &quot;Our fans will like it after we were knocked out by Barcelona last season.

&quot;It will be nice. It&#39;s a beautiful challenge for the club. I think we&#39;re ready for that.&quot;

While Real&#39;s La Liga rivals Barcelona were drawn against Chelsea, English Premier League leaders Manchester City play Basel, who have had some fine results against English sides in recent years.

Five-time winners and current Bundesliga table toppers Bayern Munich drew Turkish giants Besiktas, while last year&#39;s beaten finalists Juventus take on Tottenham.

Bayern&#39;s director of sport Hasan Salihamidzic said the Germans would not be underestimating Besiktas, who should enjoy some raucous support from the city&#39;s Turkish community.

&quot;We know how strong they are after we followed their games against Leipzig. It will be a difficult task, but we are looking forward to the unusual atmosphere in their stadium,&quot; he said.

&quot;One always says that it is a disadvantage to play at home in the first-leg, which is right - it certainly won&#39;t be an advantage - but we are strong enough to accept that and we will give our all.&quot;

With a record five English clubs in the draw, three-time champions Manchester United face Sevilla and Liverpool, five-time winners, will be up against two-time former champions Porto.

Unfancied Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk will play Roma.

First legs will be played on February 13/14 and 20/21, with second legs on March 6/7 and 13/14.

Hours after Sevilla comeback, coach Eduardo Berizzo diagnosed with cancer

Tottenham Hotspur must quickly get over the disappointment of the Premier League defeat at Arsenal by getting a morale-boosting victory at Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, manager Mauricio Pochettino has said.

Spurs&#39; loss at the Emirates on Saturday dropped them to fourth in the table, 11 points behind league leaders Manchester City, and extended their woeful away record against fellow top-six teams to one win in 17 games.

Tottenham, who are top of their Champions League group, have already sealed progression to the knockout stages and Pochettino believes their penultimate group match against a struggling Dortmund is the perfect opportunity to get a much-needed win.

&quot;Now we have to keep going and get ready for Borussia Dortmund. Okay, we&#39;re already in the next stage of the competition but we want to win and try to change the feeling we have from the weekend,&quot; Pochettino told the club&#39;s website. (www.tottenhamhotspur.com)

&quot;It&#39;s always important to compete and to be focused on the next game and when you lose, it&#39;s important to play as soon as possible to change that feeling.&quot;

Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen echoed his manager&#39;s words and says the Dortmund game allows Spurs&#39; players to show their true capabilities after an underwhelming outing against Arsenal.

&quot;It&#39;s probably good that we have a game so quickly after the derby and you can have a bit of revenge -- you can show the world that you are a better than what you saw on Saturday,&quot; Eriksen told reporters.

Tottenham was favored to win the north London derby and was criticised on multiple fronts after the poor showing but Pochettino has welcomed the increased expectations saying it showed the club&#39;s improvement during his reign.

&quot;The expectation now is that we win the Champions League and Premier League and I am happy with the pressure and the criticism,&quot; Pochettino added.

&quot;It means people expect more of us. We know very well we have improved in every single aspect.&quot;
