Paratici: 'Champions not Juve obsession'

By Football Italia staff

Fabio Paratici assures the Champions League is “not an obsession for Juventus, but motivation” and they’ve already proved themselves.

The Chief Football Officer spoke to Radio Rai this morning and you can read the rest of his comments on the transfer market here.

“We are in good shape and on Wednesday will see how Atletico Madrid are doing,” he said of the upcoming Round of 16 first leg in Spain.

“These are difficult and important matches. I don’t think we need to wait for these two games in order to understand what Juventus are worth in Europe, though. We reached the Final twice in the last four years and Juve proved we can play the Champions League at the highest level.

“Winning the Champions League is not an obsession for Juventus, but motivation. Juve try to be competitive on all fronts.

“This is a different kind of tournament, so to win it you need many elements, including a bit of luck. We’ve had a growth process over the last nine years and every season try to build the best possible squad.

“Let’s not forget when we did lose the Finals, they were against Barcelona and Real Madrid.”
