The Old Lady made short work of Fiorentina at Juventus stadium on Saturday and the former Czech Republic international feels the 2-0 win provided excellent preparation for their trip to Glasgow in midweek.
"We are very satisfied with how the team approached the match. Fiorentina play a great style of football, they have a more than capable coach and a dangerous team.
"But we really wanted the three points and played well to get them. It was a great test of character and everyone worked towards the same goal.
"In January, we had a slight dip in form but you can't be at the top of your game over the course of a whole season. Now we're in form and ready for Europe.
Nedved is fully aware the Turin outfit will face a hostile atmosphere when they travel to Celtic Park on Tuesday, having played there during his playing days, but the 40-year-old is confident Antonio Conte and his side can get a good result.
"I'm fully aware of the atmosphere that awaits us in Glasgow because I've been there and experienced it first hand.
"We'll be stepping into a lion's den and I don't think the team will need geeing up. We'll have to tough it out, but we have shown that we're ready."
