Juventus striker Fernando Llorente is looking forward to the Champions League final after notching a goal against Hellas Verona on Saturday.
Llorente scored to put the Serie A champions into a 2-1 lead, but they failed to close the game out and had to settle for a solitary point after their hosts struck back through Juanito Gomez at the death.
“I think the team played well, it wasn’t easy,” said Llorente in an interview with Sky Sport Italia after the final whistle.
“We can’t help thinking about Barcelona.
“It was hot out there and the field was greasy.
“We created chances and I think we deserved to win.”
The former Athletic Bilbao forward then looked ahead to the Old Lady’s huge clash with Spanish title winners Barcelona in Berlin next weekend, while admitting that he expects some sleepless nights nearer to the big kick-off.
“We will try to work to the maximum, and we hope to reach June 6 in the best possible shape,” continued the striker.
“So far everyone has been calm and quiet – we are working well.
“The closer we get, the more we’ll feel the nerves and excitement, but that is normal. For now, we’re all sleeping well.”
