Alessandro Del Piero and Momo Sissoko are expecting Chelsea to give Juventus a serious examination.
The Old Lady have drawn the West London giants in the last 16 of the Champions League.
“It's a difficult draw,” Del Piero asserted. “But at this stage of the competition it's clear that all the teams are decent.
“The thing that distinguishes Chelsea from the others is that they have such an excellent squad.”
Juve tactician Claudio Ranieri is getting ready to face his past and Mali international Sissoko has memories of Stamford Bridge from his time at Liverpool.
“I always follow English football with interest,” Sissoko revealed.
“I think this will be a very tough fixture and we will need to be prepare well.
“Chelsea aren't having the best of times, but they have great players. It will be a close game if both teams are at their best.”
