Turin - Juventus will have to be at their best if they are to overcome Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie to qualify for the quarter-finals, Alvaro Morata said Tuesday.
Spanish striker Morata hit his maiden Champions League goal for the Italian champions to seal a 2-1 first leg win in a thrilling encounter in Turin, where Dortmund winger Marco Reus took advantage of a defensive howler to level five minutes after Carlos Tevez's 13th minute opener.
Juventus, who lost Andrea Pirlo to a suspected hamstring injury, were much improved in the second half as Dortmund's first-half efforts at keeping a rein on Juve's creative midfielders began to tell.
