The Bianconeri’s preparations for Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Barcelona have begun in earnest with a morning workout in Vinovo.

Following last night’s Serie A home win over Chievo, Massimiliano Allegri led his players out for a warm-down session in which Mario Mandzukic also took part.

Tomorrow, the build-up to Tuesday night intensifies, as Juve take to the Vinovo training pitches again at 15.45 CEST (the first 15 minutes of this session are open to the media), before Allegri and Gianluigi Buffon address the press from Juventus Stadium at 19.30 (live tweets available at @juventusfcen).

Meanwhile, Barcelona’s press conference is scheduled for 18.15 at the Stadium. The Blaugrana add the finishing touches to their quarter-final first leg preparations on the hallowed turf at 19.00.
