Italy boss Antonio Conte believes that his former club Juventus could go the distance in the Champions League this year.
Having reached the quarter-final of the tournament two years ago and the Europa League semi-final last season, Conte feels that the Bianconeri have gathered experience which could come in handy during the tournament this year.
"After reaching the quarter-finals two years ago and the UEFA Europa League semi-final last season, Juve have more experience this term", Conte told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I think this is a key factor."
