The Bianconeri are one of the most legendary teams in Europe, having won a plethora of titles throughout their history.

They have totally conquered the domestic game in Italy, as they are perennial winners of the Serie A, winning the Scudetto in each of the last seven seasons (make that eight), while they have also won the league and cup double in each of the last four seasons.

However, for all of their domestic dominance, they have always fallen painfully shot on the continent and are desperate to get their hands on the Champions League.

The Old Lady of Turin are two time winners of this competition, but have not triumphed in it since 1997, losing four finals in the tournament since then.

This is an anomaly that they are eager to correct, which led to them breaking the bank to sign 'you know who' in the summer.

The 34-year-old has established himself as unarguably the greatest player in the history of this competition and was at his imperial best in the last round when he almost single-handedly eliminated Atletico Madrid with a stunning hat-trick at the Juventus stadium to overturn the first leg 2-0 deficit.

There is a reason he is called 'Mr Champions League' and with him in their ranks, an already strong Juventus can fancy their chances of going all the way.
