Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has made his Champions League predictions: Barcelona, Juventus and Inter are favourites.Surprisingly, the Italian didn't mention last year's finalists Manchester United, the Galacticos of Real Madrid, or even Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea.
Marchisio believes Juve's summer investments in players like Diego and Felipe Melo will pay dividends on the continent and on the domestic front.
"Barcelona have the greatest chance [of winning the Champions League] compared to the rest," Marchisio told Il Corriere Dello Sport.
"Inter are there after they strengthened, but we are also aiming to win the trophy."
Bitter rivals Inter have dominated Serie A in recent years, but the Italian star is confident of breaking the Nerazzurri's stranglehold.
"We have always been close to Inter, and now we have strengthened I think we are even stronger than they are," added Marchisio.
Diego has been the outstanding signing this summer, and Marchisio believes the Brazilian will help in the conquest for trophies.
"Diego is a true Brazilian. We are getting to know him better game after game, and he will make the difference for us," concluded the Italian.
