Cambiaso: ‘Juventus ready to give our best’ against Borussia Dortmund
Andrea Cambiaso is raring to go after sitting out a two-match Serie A ban, promising Juventus ‘feel ready to give our best’ against Borussia Dortmund.
It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

The Bianconeri have won all three Serie A games so far this season, but Cambiaso was sent off in the opener for a reaction foul, which earned him a two-match ban.
It means he hasn’t played club football since before the break for international duty, missing Saturday’s 4-3 winner over Inter.
Cambiaso back in business for Juventus
“I feel good physically, it was hard watching from the outside, but my teammates fought hard and we won two important games, I had no doubts they would,” Cambiaso told Sky Sport Italia.
“Now the Champions League begins, it’s the best competition in the world, so it’ll be wonderful to participate.”
Borussia Dortmund represent a tough opening fixture for Juventus in the Champions League, although at least the Turin giants will have home advantage in this first game.
“We feel ready to give our best, fight for every ball with humility, grit, those elements that best describe the history of this club.”
Juventus faced and beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 over the summer in a pre-season friendly with two Cambiaso goals.
“That was like another sport, so it doesn’t count now. I will try to give my best again tonight, but nothing remains from that match.”
