Alessio Tacchinardi said that Atletico Madrid's style was the worst matchup for Juventus.

"If Juventus are not at 100 percent they could lose; at 70 percent, they won't beat Atletico. I have played against Simeone many times and Atletico play like he did when he was a player, with desire and personality," said Tacchinardi.

Tacchinardi admitted that he was surprised Zinedine Zidane went into coaching following his career.

"But of all my former teammates, the only one who I didn't think would become a coach was [Zinedine] Zidane. It is amazing what he did with Madrid; he is a good and special person. I didn't think Zidane would want to stay in football after he stopped playing because he wasn't like [Antonio] Conte or [Paulo] Sousa, he wasn't a coach on the field because he had such a calm personality."
