Juventus will face Barcelona, Olympiacos and Sporting Lisbon in the group stages of the Champions League.
The Bianconeri were top seeds and have been handed a tough task to qualify top of Group D. They’ll face Barcelona again, having already beaten the Blaugrana in the quarter-finals last season on their way to the final.
They’ll also have to face Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon who qualified with a 5-1 victory over FCSB yesterday, while Olympiacos are relatively recent visitors to Turin where they were beaten 3-2 when Juve progressed to the final in 2015.

Tough group for me – i don’t see it being an easy task to qualify top. Sporting are a good side, very attack orientated, great on the counter. Olympiacos caused us problems in 2014/15 – And Barca are a side that you never underestimate.
Thankfully, my expectations are at an all time low ! I’m happy to see us have good run…..
Four wins are achievable. Wouldn’t have minded Monaco’s or United’s group though.
Tough group? Oh come on mate?Look at AS Roma lol, or Real,Dortmund,Tottenham.Group like we have cant be tough for a club like Juventus.And we are far stronger than in2014 .We gotta respect our opponents no doubts, but we also cant forget who we are.
Mate, you amuse me…expectations at an all time low! I’m hoping for a great season. VEry excited about the new signings and introductions of Costa, Freddy, the frenchman, incoming teutonic beast, Rodrigo and even the Pole! I have really enjoyed the mercato, other than Bonucci leaving, but so be it, everything changes with time…as Gary BArlow still sings in my ears sometimes. Which is horrible, but…credit where its due, he was correct.
We do this.
Marchisio out again god damn!!!up to 4 months with fucking knee. This guy is made od glass , holy shit.
