Juventus additions strengthen Champions League bid - Marotta

Juventus chief executive Giuseppe Marotta hopes that the club's transfer-window business can help translate their domestic dominance into the Champions League.

The Bianconeri have won five consecutive Serie A titles but, after losing the 2014-15 Champions League final to Barcelona, they were cruelly knocked out by Bayern Munich in the last-16 last season.

"We've strengthened our squad and feel ready to tackle this season's Champions League," he said. "We want to go as far as possible.

"Our first aim is to reach the Champions League knockout stages, regardless of the opposition we've been drawn against."

"Last year we missed a big chance at Sevilla," he added.

"It will be a red-hot atmosphere in Lyon and Zagreb so we need to be very careful and stay focused."
