Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has insisted that he bears no grudge against Luis Suarez ahead of the two players meeting in the Champions League final next month.
Suarez was banned for four months after biting Chiellini when playing for Uruguay against Italy in a World Cup group game in Brazil last summer.
The pair will meet for the first time since that match when Juve face Barcelona in the final of Europe's elite competition, but Chiellini insists that he will treat the former Liverpool striker no differently to any other player he comes up against.
"It has been a week since we knocked out Real Madrid and people only ask me about Suarez," he told reporters.
"I bear no grudges. I have no problem with him. I will mark him the way I did Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, or any other striker, so there's nothing different about it. The only thing that disappointed me that time was going out of the World Cup.
"[The final is] a special game. It's been far too long since we won [the European Cup]."
Both Juventus and Barcelona could be in line to win the treble by the time they meet in Berlin on Saturday, June 6.
