One of the best strategists these days, Josep Guardiola, did not spare compliments for the possible future opponents of Turin's "Juventus" in the upcoming UEFA Champions League season.
This summer, the victories of the former "Barcelona" team were taken over by the wheel of the European champions, Munich's "Bayern" team.
As known, in the last season, Germans and Italians clashed in the Champions League quarter-finals, where the Bavarians won with a final score of 4-0.
"You can be sure that Juventus will return to the Champions League this year even stronger," Guardiola told journalists.
"They have money and they can grow rapidly. Juventus is a fantastic and wonderful club. In Italy, no one doubts their status as champions, so it is completely normal that they want to prove it in Europe."
"The secret of their success and victories is a successful project with coach Antonio Conte," Guardiola noted.
As Jose Maria Orobitgas, Guardiola's agent, stated in an interview, in the summer of 2001, the then 30-year-old Spaniard left Barcelona and tried to put on the Juventus jersey, but at the last minute, the Italian club changed their position and the transfer did not happen.
