Champions League: Juventus fear meeting Leicester in quarter final – Buffon

Juventus goalkeeper, Gigi Buffon has expressed his fears over a possible meeting with Leicester City in the next round of the Champions League.

Leicester shocked the football world again Tuesday night when they edged Sevilla out of the competition in the round of 16 making their way to the quarter final at first try.

The legendary goalkeeper is most concerned about the English Champions.

Last year’s surprise Premier League winners now join Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in Friday’s draw after overcoming a first-leg deficit to beat their visitors 3-2 on aggregate on Tuesday.

Speaking after Juventus saw off Porto in the night’s other game, Buffon said Leicester present an unknown quantity.

Buffon said, “I want to avoid Leicester.

“They have enthusiasm and passion, but also the weapons to hurt a side that wants to take the initiative. We’d have everything to lose against them.”
