Juventus v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Leg One
Zidane warned his boys against complacency
"Everyone sees us going through to the semi-finals and that's exactly what we should not put in our head," Zidane said while addressing the media after Saturday’s draw against Atletico Madrid. "We know very well that we will have to suffer again on Wednesday."

Zidane knows. The Frenchman knows that while having a three-goal cushion before a home-leg is a great advantage, it could also cause players to feel complacent.

Ever since Madrid’s win at Turin, the general consensus among the fans and pundits – and even Juventus manager Max Allegri – is that Madrid are going to the semi-final.

And that is exactly what could lead to their downfall.
