Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has said that it will be a "fascinating challenge" to play Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley on Wednesday evening.

The two sides clash in the capital in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie, having drawn 2-2 in Turin a fortnight ago.

Buffon told reporters that the supporters are "in for a treat" ahead of one of the tournament's more closely-contested fixtures this term.

"It is a fascinating challenge to play at Wembley, an historic football theatre, and also it is a challenge because we have to try to get through following the first leg, and because we are playing a strong team," the Italian said.

"It will be an uphill battle but sometimes you can get caught out going downhill so we are up for the challenge. Tottenham quite clearly have a lot of great attributes, they have a tried and trusted style of play.

"They like to attack, they can be physical, they are good technically, but their style allows the opposition a few chances, so I think the fans are in for a treat."

Juventus were pegged back from two goals down in the first leg, with Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen leading the Spurs resurgence.
