Juventus Coach Mentioned Barcelona As the Favorite Candidate to Win the Champions League

DBasia.news –  Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri stated that Barcelona are still the favorite team to win the Champions League this season.

Juventus haven’t succeeded in lifting the Champions League trophy since 1995-1996. They were just the runner-up under Allegri in 2014-2015 and 2016-2017.

However, the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo has brought Juventus as the candidate to win the Champions League this season.

“Barcelona are the favorites to win the competition, in my opinion. Then there are teams, including us, with the ambition to win it. We have that same desire every year,” Allegri said.

“Last year, I said that the favorites were Real Madrid. This year, I think it’s Barcelona. I hope to be wrong this year,” he said.

Despite the failure against Manchester United in the recent match, Allegri also wants to keep the challenges of all the lines.

“There are still many games to go in Serie A and we have a lot of difficult games to play until the end of the year, against Roma, Inter, Atalanta, Fiorentina, and Sampdoria,” he said.
