Pavel Nedved says Juventus should throw in the towel ahead of their Champions League second-leg clash with Arsenal.
The Czech midfielder is available for the quarter-final second leg in Turin after missing Tuesday's Highbury defeat through suspension.
But the former European Footballer of the Year reckons the Gunners are already as good as through following their comprehensive 2-0 win.
Nedved admitted: "It will be very difficult for us to make something of this tie. In fact, maybe it is already over for us this year."
Nedved believes that any chance of turning the tie around disappeared when Patrick Vieira, Mauro Camoranesi and Jonathan Zebina all got themselves suspended on Tuesday.
He explained: "If we were at full strength for the return game then we might have had a chance. But now it will extremely hard.
"I am not looking forward to the match given the fact that we will have so many players missing.
"We played quite well at the start but once we conceded the first goal everything went wrong."
