The goalkeeper of Juventus Gianluigi Buffon believes that Barcelona has the best chance to triumph in this season's UEFA Champions League.
Last season, Juventus lost to Barcelona in the final of the strongest tournament of the Old Continent with a score of 1-3.
This year, after five group stage matches, the Catalans are second in terms of effectiveness and Buffon believes they can become the first team to defend the champion's title.
"It's hard to say. The season lasts for 11 months, during which there are both ups and downs," - said Buffon before Juventus' clash with Sevilla.
"At the moment, I believe no team has more chances to win the title than Barcelona.
"However, looking back at last year, by December, Barcelona was a strong team, but far from shining.
"At that time, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid might have been considered the favorites. This means that a lot can change in 11 months - including the chances of winning."
"Now, Barcelona is undoubtedly the strongest club in Spain and in Europe."
