Chiellini Honours Mellberg As Juve Beat Arsenal
Juventus stopper, Giorgio Chiellini, admits that the partnership at the back with former Aston Villa defender, Olof Mellberg is going well. The duo were outstanding during the Old Lady's 1-0 win over Arsenal.

The Bianconeri edged out a very young Arsenal side 1-0 on Saturday afternoon, thanks to a contentious David Trezeguet strike on 39 minutes.
Chiellini, along with his colleagues managed to hold out and weather the Gunners onslaught, to take a well deserved win into tomorrow’s game against Hamburg.
The Italian international has given his thumbs up to Mellberg and he believes their understanding is always getting better.
“The understanding with Mellberg is always growing,” Chiellini told Juventus Channel following the win over Arsenal.
“We are doing well together and he is very good in the air. We always seem to get to the high balls first.
“However, it wasn’t just about me and Mellberg, the whole defence did well as well as the rest of the team.”
The Bianconeri take on Hamburg on Sunday afternoon and they could win the Emirates Cup with victory over the Germans, if Arsenal beat Real Madrid.
