Juventus coach Antonio Conte knows it will take a huge effort to improve in the Champions League next season.

After conquering Italy, Conte has made it very clear that he now wants to be put into a position to challenge for the Champions League.

"It makes me laugh when I hear certain things, like when people say that Juventus need just two players to win the Champions League. That's a superficial and presumptuous argument.

"The reality is different - the top is some distance away as the UEFA rankings demonstrate. It's not just an economical issue either. Certainly money helps, but that is not enough.

"Bayern Munich is a model to follow. A serious project which started years ago with Van Gaal, that has included burning losses that enhanced the ferocity of their players.

"At the base of all success is organisation of play, a club who are prepared to go down a precise path with targeted investments and an eye on the youth system. That's the only way you can change."
