Surprisingly, the ex Italian player situates to the FC Barcelona in the third stair of candidates to heave with the European title, surely because of the three eliminations followed of the culés in the round of quarter-finals of the competition. Paradoxically, Of Piero thinks that, to the equal that Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi still has a lot that do in the Champions League.
"Messi and Ronaldo still have a lot that offer, especially in the Champions League", ensures, gladdening by the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Juventus of Turín, the club of his loves. "It likes me a lot of, is like LeBron James and the Lakers", kids.
"It is an extraordinary champion and has a mentality that only have the biggest sportsmen. He will know how infect it. At the beginning no it believed it to me. The Juventus needed it to grow to world-wide level", adds on the Portuguese footballer.
Of Piero always will support to the Juventus
And on the fact that Buffon there is recalado in Paris Saint-Germain after abandoning the Juventus, Of Piero has clear that, if it produces a Juventus-PSG in Champions League, will support to the Italian group although in Paris play one of his big friends.
"When I went me of the Juventus refused to play in the Celtic because I decided to go out of Europe. This year confronted to the Juventus and thought that it was a good decision not going there. If it happens him to Buffon, will be his decision, but if there is a Juve-PSG will go against him", signals Of Piero. It will be necessary to see if they fulfil his favouritisms in the Champions League, that sure that to the barcelonismo will not have liked him too much.
