MILAN (Reuters) - The last time that Torino won away to Juventus in the Derby della Mole, the likes of Didier Deschamps, Antonio Conte and Roberto Baggio were playing for their opponents while current Juve forward Cristiano Ronaldo was still at school.

That was 24 years ago and if Torino are ever going manage a repeat, then Friday's meeting at the Allianz stadium would seem as good a chance as any.

Torino played in the old European Cup in 1976-77 when they reached the second round but have never taken part in the modern version. "We mustn’t be afraid, we need the points," said Torino midfielder Armando Izzo."We can’t be overawed by Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of their forwards. If we want to do something special, we will have to put them out of our minds."

Atalanta currently occupy fourth spot with 59 points but only four points separate them from eighth-placed Lazio with Roma , Torino and AC Milan sandwiched in between.
