A. Del Piero: "Juventus" showed that they are destined to win the Champions League.

According to former club sniper Alessandro Del Piero, Turin's "Juventus" has already reached the same level as the strongest European teams.

After a great victory with a score of 3-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals against Barcelona, Massimiliano Allegri's team did not concede goals in Spain yesterday and advanced to the next stage of the tournament.

Del Piero believes that this performance reflects the fact that Juventus is capable of reaching the top.

"They did everything they had to do, not conceding goals against Barcelona," the forward told Sky.

"Juventus reached the semi-finals for the second time in three years, which is a very important thing.

"Two years ago it seemed that Juventus was lagging behind Barca, but yesterday on the field and even emotionally it was not visible.

"They defended like a great team and showed that they are capable of winning the Champions League."

In the Italian championship, "Roma" are trailing "bianconeri" by eight points, and tomorrow their opponents in the Champions League semi-finals will be revealed.
