Giampiero Ventura insists Torino are the underdogs against Club Brugge in the Europa League tomorrow.
The Granata made their way through the preliminary rounds and begin the group phase on Thursday at 18.00 UK time (17.00 GMT) in Belgium.
“Brugge are, and I don’t say that because we are here today, the strongest team in the group,” said Coach Ventura in his Press conference.
The other sides in Group B are FC Copenhagen and Helsinki.

The other sides in Group B are FC Copenhagen and Helsinki.
“I say that with all due respect towards the other clubs, but this is our most difficult game of the group. They have individual quality, organisation and tradition.
“It is an important test for us to verify the work we have done so far and what still remains to be done. This makes the match even more exciting.”
Torino return to Europe after two decades and Ventura makes his first foray into the continental realm.
“Am I moved at reaching Europe? No, I am gratified. The pleasure is that I got here with a group of great lads and none of them probably thought they’d make it here.
“Having said that, Europe is not a finish line for us, but a starting point. We built a young squad and it needs experience to mature.”
