Juventus players likely didn't get a full night of rest ahead of their Champions League clash with Valencia.

In an apparent attempt to disrupt the team before Wednesday's match, a small group of people set off firecrackers and bangers outside of Juventus' hotel during the wee hours of the morning, local government delegate Juan Carlos Fulgencio revealed to Richard Martin of Reuters.

"They were also holding a banner insulting Juventus. It was a small incident, a simple case of hooliganism," he said.

Fulgencio added that Juventus has been provided with additional security for the remainder of their stay in Valencia.

It's unclear if any of the people responsible were taken into custody.
