Marco Verratti has backed Juventus to defy the odds against Real Madrid in the Champions League and their ‘ruthless’ streak to win them another Scudetto.

It comes less than a week after reports suggested Juve were interested in signing Verratti but were put off by Paris Saint-Germain’s valuation of the Italy midfielder.

“It’s difficult but not impossible, even if Real know how to suffer,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

Marco Verratti has backed Juventus to defy the odds against Real Madrid in the Champions League and their ‘ruthless’ streak to win them another Scudetto.

It comes less than a week after reports suggested Juve were interested in signing Verratti but were put off by Paris Saint-Germain’s valuation of the Italy midfielder.

“It’s difficult but not impossible, even if Real know how to suffer,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“It’s harder for Roma: Barcelona have improved a lot, also defensively. Montella’s Sevilla against Bayern? He’s a friend of mine and he did a great job in Manchester: it’s sweet revenge for him after his disappointment with Milan.

“Scudetto? Juventus are ruthless and can win, even when they don’t play well. It’s an issue of mentality. For Napoli, it’ll be hard to bounce back.

“The match between the two teams could be decisive.”
