Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon believes his side are better set up to win the Champions League rather than the Scudetto.

The Bianconeri have always stated their ambitions in Europe this season and everyone at the club have revealed their preferences for glory in Europe.

Alessandro Del Piero recently spoke of a double this term. However, the goalkeeper would rather sacrifice the tricolore to lift the European Cup after twelve years.

"I think that Juventus are better set up to do well in the Champions League," he explained. "We are not inferior to anyone in the cup competition either.

"It's different in Serie A, Inter are running away but we will not give up. Our bad period is behind us. We have to keep running until the spring then we will start the final sprint."

The Goalkeeper then revealed how he was close to joining Scudetto rivals Milan when he was a teenager.

"I wanted to go to Milan when I was young but my family pushed me towards Parma," concluded the shot-stopper.
