Experienced Turin's "Juventus" defender Andrea Barzagli admits that his representing club has not yet reached the highest level, but believes that in the near future they will climb to the top of the UEFA Champions League. "The 'Bianconeri' team in Italy has no equals, but in Europe they play very unsuccessfully. Last season, the Turin team dropped out of the Champions League after the group stage. "Not reaching the quarterfinals last season was a huge disappointment for us," - said the Italian national team player. - "This year we hope to at least make it to that stage". "It won't be easy, as the Champions League is a competitive tournament with many strong opponents. We are not at the level of elite clubs, but we can follow the example of Madrid's 'Atletico', who marched all the way to the final last season and barely missed becoming champions," - added A.Barzagli. This season "Juventus" will compete in Group A, where Madrid's "Atletico", "Malmo", and Piraeus' "Olympiakos" clubs will also participate.
