Ancelotti wary of Juventus

Turin - Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has brushed off suggestions Juventus will be easy opponents when the sides meet on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final in Turin.

Real are widely expected to cruise to this year's final in Berlin having claimed a record 10th title last year with a 4-1 hammering of city rivals Atletico Madrid.

But Ancelotti, who coached Juventus for two largely fruitless seasons at the start of his coaching career, believes the Turin giants have not reached the last four by chance.
