Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has tipped Juventus to challenge for the Champions League title this season.
The Old Lady have dominated Italian football in recent years but have not won Europe's biggest prize since 1996.
Juve were beaten in the 2014-15 final by Barcelona, but Ronaldo - who helped Madrid to their 11th Champions League title last term - believes that they have all of the attributes to go the distance this time around.
"[Alvaro] Morata had a fantastic season, learned a lot in Italy, and improved as a footballer. He grew up as a player in a very tough competition," Ronaldo told Marca.
"Of course [they can win the Champions League]. They have a fantastic team, just like their coach and stadium. Why not?"
Juve have won the Serie A title in each of the last five seasons and are top of the table again this term with 10 wins from 12 games.
