Messi don't scare us :Morata

The Juventus striker insists that, while his team-
mates have a great deal of respect for the
Argentine, they are not worried about the thought
of facing him in Berlin
Alvaro Morata says the prospect of facing Lionel
Messi in the Champions League final does not
scare him and his Juventus team-mates.
The Bianconeri
face Barcelona on Saturday in the
European showpiece at the Olympiastadion in
Berlin and, while Morata accepts that Messi is one
of the world’s greatest players, he insists there is
no fear in the Turin side's dressing room.
"He does not scare us, other things in life scare
me," Morata told Marca . "We all respect Messi an
he is one of the best players in the world. He and
Cristiano Ronaldo are above everyone else, but we
have a great defence that he has to negotiate."
The former Real Madrid striker admits his previou
spell with Real Madrid makes the match-up with
Barcelona an even greater event.
"I would be lying if I said it is not a special
motivation. I grew up at Real Madrid and played
their a long time. I have many friends there and a
Juventus victory would make both camps happy."
Morata came on as a substitute in Madrid's final
victory in 2014, and he says the experience is one
he would love to repeat.
"Our team is very motivated. We know it is a
Champions League final and we could make
football history by winning. Playing a Champions
League final is a special feeling. We know it will b
very difficult to win because we face a team that is
in great form and I think we will have to play a
great game to win.
"They have a great team. We have a chance to
win, but they are the favourites."
