Chiellini: This year we are determined to do something big Champions League - Juventus vs Real Madrid Described Ramos as best central defender in world

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini said that they are more determined than ever this season following their defeat in the Champions League final last year as they prepare to face Real Madrid again.

The Italian successfully returned from injury against Milan and is set to be fit now for the quarter final clash against Zinedine Zidane's side.

"To lose a final is painful, obviously, but it is very good to play them," said Chiellini.

"This year we are more determined than ever to achieve something important.

"The Spanish are always the favourites, City and Bayern are doing well but Real Madrid and Barcelona have something extra.

"Cristiano has changed his style of play over the past two years, his strength comes from wanting to be the best all the time while Messi has an incredible speed off the mark."

Chiellini believes that Sergio Ramos is the best centre half around at the moment.

"I will never have the technical quality or the speed of Sergio Ramos, he is the best central defender in the world and knows how to perform in the big games but also in Spain is Pique who was fortunate to develop alongside Puyol," he added.
