Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo says he and his team-mates have to believe they can turn around their Champions League last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid.
Los Rojiblancos scored twice in the final 12 minutes of the first leg in the Spanish capital to secure a 2-0 victory and give themselves a valuable cushion to take into the second leg in Turin on Tuesday evening.
We are ready and we will do everything we can to beat them.

However, Ronaldo - who knows Atleti only too well from his time with Real Madrid - believes that the tie is far from over and that he and his colleagues are ready to try and engineer a fightback.
He told his club's official website: "We have to believe we can make it, winning still is possible.
"The team is confident of playing a great game and I am too. We are ready to experience a special night.
"Everyone knows that they are a strong team, they defend very well, they don't take a lot of risks and they play on the counter-attack. But we are ready and we will do everything we can to beat them.
"The details will make the difference and we want to win and qualify for the quarter-finals.
"We didn't expect to lose the first leg 2-0, but anything can happen and we want to give a great response."
Either side of their loss in Madrid, Juve have won five league games in a row, although Ronaldo has failed to score on any of his last three appearances.
The Portuguese ace is 4/5 to score at any time on Tuesday evening, with Juve 3/1 to qualify for the quarter-finals and 28/1 to do so following a penalty shootout.
