“I feel really good,” Matuidi told reporters. “I have arrived at a big club, with history and ambition.
“Like PSG, Juve want to win all the titles they can.
“I am at a great club, I played in Paris and now I’m at Juve. People shouldn’t take that lightly.
“If I have these chances, despite what you say about me, it’s because I have the necessary quality to play for clubs of that ilk.
“Juve are a huge club.”
Matuidi added that despite now being in his thirties, he wants to continue to represent his country for years to come.
“I have played a lot of matches for the national team and I want to continue to do so.
“The competition for places is healthy and normal.”
