‘We’ll require everyone to play their part and we will need the Juventus Stadium to be bouncing and everyone giving off positivity.

‘Against Bayern, you have to be ready from a tactical standpoint, and be ready to suffer. It’s important to play with intelligence, personality, respect and be fearless in our approach.

‘If a team-mate makes a mistake, you have to think that it can also be your fault and therefore offer more solutions to fix the issue.

‘The psychological aspect is what matters in these games. You need to be relaxed and look to enjoy the occasion as much as you can, otherwise you go out and feel like you’re playing in a 20kg jacket.

‘Bayern are the favourites, but I’m perfectly relaxed from what I’ve seen in training. 

I’ve got plenty of belief in my team-mates and if you asked [Pep] Guardiola or the players of Bayern whether it is easy to face Juventus, they would say no.’
Evra, who lifted the European Cup with United in 2008, was part of the team that drew 0-0 at Bologna on Friday night, a result that ended Juve’s 15-match winning run in Serie A.
