Juventus right-back Dani Alves has insisted that his team have the credentials to win the Champions League this season.
The Old Lady have dominated Serie A in recent seasons, but have not lifted the European Cup since 1996.
Alves was part of the Barcelona team that beat Juve in the 2015 Champions League final, but now with the Italian giants, the Brazilian is backing his new club to triumph this season.
"Juventus are an excellent side and are capable of taking on anyone in Europe," Alves, who has scored twice in six appearances for his side this season, told Sky Sport. "With that quality comes the expectation of going all the way in every competition and, step by step, we can do it.
"Of course it won't be easy, just like becoming domestic champions or winning every match possible, but this is what you expect from a club like Juve. We have the requisite focus to sustain our form over the entire campaign.
"A club like this will always be expected to entertain its supporters with league titles and good football and that pressure is an added motivation to succeed. That, after all, is what pushes you to the very top."
Alves joined Juventus from Barcelona in the summer after making 391 appearances for the Spanish giants during a eight-year spell.
