Italy legend Roberto Baggio backs his former club Juventus to get the better of Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Italy legend Roberto Baggio has backed Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain to guide Juventus past Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Juventus endured a slow start to the season, but the Italian giants have moved to the top of the Serie A standings as well as reaching the last eight in Europe's premier competition with victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Baggio - who represented Juve between 1990 and 1995 - has predicted that Dybala and Higuain will make a pivotal contribution in what is a repeat of the 2017 final.

The 51-year-old told Gazzetta dello Sport: "This season is great. Napoli are doing very well. I think Juventus are a little bit ahead with [Paulo] Dybala and [Gonzalo] Higuain.

"Let's talk about two exceptional players. If you think Dybala is great, look at what Higuain did against Tottenham. Two crazy things. Even though Real Madrid will be a challenge, I believe that Juventus can compete with them."

During his time in Turin, Baggio scored 115 goals in 200 appearances in all competitions.
