With the quarter-final draw of the Champions League approaching, Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci has announced that he hopes to draw Barcelona, while looking to avoid Carlo Ancelotti's Bayern Munich.
The Bianconeri stamped their place in the last eight of the competition with a 1-0 win over Porto on Tuesday, securing a 3-0 aggregate victory.
"We are among the best eight clubs in Europe and now is the time to kick on and go as far as we can," Bonucci stated to the official Juve website.
"Leicester have been the surprise package of the tournament so far but personally I would want to meet Barcelona next. Facing off against the side that beat us to the trophy two years ago would be a huge incentive for all of us.
"Who [do we want] to avoid? Bayern Munich. Wherever he goes [Carlo] Ancelotti finds a way of winning football matches, just like [Pep] Guardiola.
"You would prefer to face a side like Bayern in a one-off final where anything can happen.
"In the 2015/16 campaign, coach Massimiliano Allegri's first season in charge, Juventus reached the final of the Champions League but - as Bonucci alluded to - ultimately lost 3-1 in the final to Luis Enrique's Barcelona.
