Juventus midfielder Hernanes warns other teams could challenge his side and Napoli for the Scudetto.
The Bianconeri lead Serie A by a point from the Partenopei, with Inter, Roma and Fiorentina having fallen off the pace in recent months.
However, the Brazilian international believes Juve’s 15-match winning streak should serve as a warning to never count anyone out.
“We’ve had a remarkable comeback, but we’re not satisfied yet,” Hernanes told JTV.
Juventus midfielder Hernanes warns other teams could challenge his side and Napoli for the Scudetto.
The Bianconeri lead Serie A by a point from the Partenopei, with Inter, Roma and Fiorentina having fallen off the pace in recent months.
However, the Brazilian international believes Juve’s 15-match winning streak should serve as a warning to never count anyone out.
“We’ve had a remarkable comeback, but we’re not satisfied yet,” Hernanes told JTV.
“It’s an exciting League, because so many teams play good football. There are still months to go in the struggle to achieve our goals.
“At the moment the fight is between us and Napoli, but there are 12 games to still to go, and someone else count re-enter the race like we were able to.
“So we have to stay focused to keep that from happening.”
Hernanes had been criticised by a number of Juventus fans after his summer move from Inter, but won plaudits for his performance against Bayern Munich in midweek.
“I knew the moment would come when I could show my qualities so while I wasn’t expecting it to arrive on Tuesday night, I think I responded well.
“The return leg will be tough and we will need to produce quite a performance to reach the quarter-finals at the expense of an excellent team.
“Everyone will now be expecting to see that Juve of the second half and we have to believe that we can get the result we want as we have done so consistently in the past few months.”
The Old Lady face Inter on Sunday night, with the opportunity to put the pressure on Napoli, who don’t play until Monday.
“It’s an important game for us, but they also have objectives to achieve,” Hernanes cautioned.
“After the last game [a 3-0 Juve win in the Coppa Italia] they’ll be more careful and cautious and I expect a tough match.
“We just have to focus on our qualities and think about playing our own game.”
