Stephan Lichtsteiner insists Juventus can compete with Europe's biggest clubs.
The Switzerland defender says economic might is no excuse not to succeed against the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid.
"Financially speaking, clearly the top Italian clubs, including Juve, can't keep up with the big boys in Spain, England and France.
"However, we can't use that as an excuse. Dortmund reached the Champions League final last year, Sevilla captured the Europa League this season, Atletico Madrid won the Liga title and qualified for the Champions League final, and none of these clubs have the sort of budget the big Italian sides do.
"If success has smiled on them, why shouldn't it smile on us?"
