Milan - After failing to reach the knockout stage last year, Juventus may find its passage to the Champions League quarterfinals blocked Tuesday by a Borussia Dortmund team which puts its domestic difficulties aside on the European stage.
Juventus, once a powerhouse of European football, is seeking only its second Champions League last eight appearance since 2006, the year it was relegated for matchfixing in Serie A.
The famous Italian club struggled in the group stage before finishing second behind Atletico Madrid and coach Massimiliano Allegri - who replaced Antonio Conte in the summer - hopes his wealth of Champions League experience, with AC Milan, helps to keep his team in the competition.
