Wesley Sneijder won the Champions League with Inter, but doubts Juventus can do the same, even with Cristiano Ronaldo. “There are tougher teams.”
The Bianconeri became one of the favourites to lift the trophy after bringing in CR7 from Real Madrid, not to mention Emre Can, Blaise Matuidi, Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic and Douglas Costa.
However, 2010 Treble winner Sneijder is unconvinced Juve will end their 22-year wait.
“I don’t think so,” he told beIN Sports.

“I don’t think so,” he told beIN Sports.
“It’s not about one player you know, of course in the past years Juventus did a great job in the Champions League. But it’s not about one player who is going to change everything, that it’s going to change that much that you are going to win the Champions League.
“There are tougher teams than Juventus. For the league, OK it would surprise me if they don’t win the league, but the Champions League I think you need more for that."
“I think he won’t struggle in Italy at all. He has the quality and he is a professional so he will adapt soon, I am convinced of that.
“There is no way that Cristiano to not succeed in Italy. It’s a different competition than the Spanish league, but it’s all about adaptation. If he can adapt quick, it will be easy for him. He will make something very good there.
"The biggest difference is that in Italy it’s all about winning, it’s all about the result 1-0 is enough. Spain is more technical to show a nice game and to score even more goals three, four, five zero you know like that but in Italy they are fine with 1-0 they are happy with the three points."
