Pirlo, on the Champions League: "The Juventus seems me upper to the Barcelona"

Andrea Pirlo has conceded some statements, in the last hours, in which it has planted to the Juventus of Turín a stair above the FC Barcelona in relation to his possibilities to conquer this season 2018-19 the UEFA Champions League. For the ex Italian player, the 'Vecchia Signora' and the Manchester City are the big favourites to conquer the tournament.

Pirlo Won four 'Scudettos' with the Juventus between 2011 and 2015, and sees to the group of Allegri between the favourite maxima, to the equal that the Manchester City, as it has thought in an interview published this Monday by 'The Gazzetta dello Sport'. "The Juventus seems me upper to the Barcelona, whereas the Manchester City can be a more dangerous rival", has analysed the Italian.

It has stood out, this yes, the big weight that has Cristiano Ronaldo in the Juventus of Turín, to the hour to convert to the 'Vecchia Signora' in one of the big favourites to conquer the 'orejona', after the Portuguese player have won four in the five last years with the Real Madrid. Without 'CR7', probably the Juventus had not traced back the 2-0 adverse against the Athletic of Madrid.

"I do not know if without Christian the party (against the Athletic) had finished 1-0, but perhaps no 3-0. If you decide to change of life to the 33 years, means that your motivations are to the maximum. Only you have to acclimatise you, and Cristiano Ronaldo did it very quickly", has elogiado the ex Italian midfield player on the capacity of the player luso to adapt to any team.

The Ajax, affordable rival for the Juventus?

Although the Ajax of Amsterdam 'danced' to the Real Madrid in the turn of eighth of final to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Pirlo thinks that is an affordable rival for the Juventus of Turín, that will be much better organised in defence of what was it the group merengue, in free fall this season 2018-19.

"The Ajax in fourth was a good draw. They did two big parties against the Madrid, but this Madrid was very bad organised. The Juventus will not commit this error and physically can 'destroy them'", thinks Andrea Pirlo. Who know if the Juventus could find with the FC Barcelona in a hypothetical final of the Champions League 2018-19. We will know it in the month of May.
