Carlo Ancelotti believes it will be “really hard” for his old club Juventus to reach the Champions League final.
The Bianconeri lost in the final to Barcelona last year, and are on the verge of securing qualification from their group this time around, but the former Chelsea manager can’t see them going all the way.
“I think it’s going to be really hard for them to reach the final again as they have lost so many good players,” Ancelotti explained to Goal.

“I think it’s going to be really hard for them to reach the final again as they have lost so many good players,” Ancelotti explained to Goal.
“They signed a number of very good and young talented players who will surely do well, but they need time to understand the system. That’s why I think they won’t reach the final like last year.”
However, the man who guided Milan to the 2004 Scudetto does not believe the Old Lady are out of the title race.
“I do not think Juventus are out of the fight for the Scudetto. It is a strange and very balanced championship this season.
“The average points won will be lower than usual and for this reason I think Juve still have time to recover.
“The team that has the best chance of winning the title is Roma because their offense is probably the most dangerous. I think Inter will still have some issues because they changed a lot this summer and it’s not easy to get all the new players on the same page.
“Then there is Napoli, who have started very well the season. I think Napoli can only improve further. The players are learning Maurizio Sarri’s system and will do better as they get to know it. I like Sarri’s philosophy because it’s an attacking one.”
