Juventus fullback Dani Alves has called on his teammates to "show no fear" in their challenge for the Champions League this season.
The Bianconeri are 11 points clear at the top of Serie A table after a controversial late win against AC Milan on Friday night, and lead Porto 2-0 from the first leg of their last 16 Champions League tie.
Alves, who scored against Porto, has expressed his belief that this Juventus side are ready to challenge in every competition.
"We are in good shape, both physically and psychologically," he toldJuventus' official website."Now we are going into the most important part of the season. Great players work all year to be ready for these moments... to win competitions. Together, we can have a great finale to the campaign.
"I expected it to be a strong Juve side when I arrived, because a team that wins five consecutive Scudetto titles and reaches the Champions League final has to be strong.
