“We’re convinced we can win the treble, but we’re keeping our feet on the ground,” Pique told Mundo Deportivo.
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique describes Juventus as ‘very strong’ and admits Carlos Tevez is ‘hard to stop’.
The Spanish international played alongside Tevez at Manchester United, and will renew acquaintances on Saturday in the Champions League final.
“We’re convinced we can win the treble, but we’re keeping our feet on the ground,” Pique told Mundo Deportivo.
“We know that Juventus are a difficult opponent to deal with, everyone is making us favourites, but we know it will be difficult on the pitch.
“The Bianconeri play with great intensity, and there are situations we cannot control or predict. We have to be focused.
“Juve will play on the break with Tevez and [Alvaro] Morata, we know them, and against Real [Madrid] they showed they’re up to it.
“In terms of both quality and quantity they’re very strong.”
Pique was then asked to expand on his thoughts about the Juventus front two.
“I don’t care that Alvaro is from Real Madrid on an ex-Madridista, it won’t be an extra motivation. Winning the Champions League is already enough motivation to give your all.
“As for Tevez, I got on very well with him in Manchester, because our English wasn’t great, the same with [Patrice] Evra.
“Carlitos has lots of talent, character and he’s winner. He’ll be hard to stop.”
