Fernando Llorente admits nobody at Juventus could have expected such a successful season, whilst discussing the future of Paul Pogba.

With the Serie A and Coppa Italia titles already in the bag, the Bianconeri only need to win the Champions League Final against Barcelona on June 6 to emulate Inter's historic 'triplete' of 2010.

In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, Llorente was asked whether he was expecting these results for his team.

Fernando Llorente admits nobody at Juventus could have expected such a successful season, whilst discussing the future of Paul Pogba.

With the Serie A and Coppa Italia titles already in the bag, the Bianconeri only need to win the Champions League Final against Barcelona on June 6 to emulate Inter's historic 'triplete' of 2010.

In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, Llorente was asked whether he was expecting these results for his team.

“To be honest, no. None of us could have anticipated this, winning the championship, the Coppa Italia and now playing for the Champions League Final,” replied the Spaniard.

“So far the only regret was that of losing the Italian Supercup to Napoli, otherwise it would have been the perfect season. But let's hope we can culminate our campaign in Berlin against Barca.

“I don't think the three-man defence system we used against Lazio was deployed with a view to playing against Barcelona, but now we must prepare the upcoming game perfectly, because it's going to be extremely hard.

“Whether I get to play in the final is going to be down to the Coach. To be honest, Alvaro [Morata] and [Carlos] Tevez are doing very well and it's going to be tough, but I'll do my best to be ready when the team needs me.”

The 30-year-old was then asked by the Catalan publication about Juve's most prized mercato asset, 22-year-old Paul Pogba.

“I foresee an incredible future for him. He can turn into anything he likes. He's very young and he'll have to refine many things, but he's got the quality.

“An heir to Xavi? You can never tell where he's going to end up. Now he's a Juventus player and let's hope he stays a few more years, because it's a pleasure to play by his side.

“As for myself, I don't think about the future, I'm very happy at Juventus and I still have two years left in my contract.”
