The 48-year-old told Juve's official website after the UCL draws that it will be explosive to watch the pair go against each other again.

“It’ll be a huge clash with Barcelona and a fascinating encounter, because it allows what in my view are still today the two best players in the world – Ronaldo and Messi – to face off against each other.

“Along with that, we are also seeing Miralem Pjanic and Arthur meeting, so that is another match within the match.”

Nedved also believes Barcelona are not the only hurdle they will have to face as he claimed Dynamo Kyiv are also a strong side.

Nedved continued:

“Dynamo Kyiv are a very solid team with an experienced coach like Mircea Lucescu, who made history at Shakhtar Donetsk. If our fixture in Ukraine were to be in the winter, that would make it even more difficult.

“The Hungarians are something of an unknown quantity, not the usual opponents we see in the Champions League. Knowing Hungarian football, they will no doubt have a great deal of talent.

“We must keep our eyes out and be fully concentrated in every single game. It’s the Champions League, which means any team can cause problems.”
