Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic says the players know they must be Champions League challengers this season.

With their deal for former Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, Juve are now regarded among the favourites for the European title.

Pjanic stated: "At Juventus we always play to win competitions, in the last four years we have reached the final and it is not enough, we need something more to win the Champions League, it is one of the goals for a strong team and club.

"We are on the right track, Ronaldo is our key player, he has won a lot and he is one of the best players of all time, having him in the team gives us something more.

"For everyone I am happy to have stayed, the goal is to keep winning my club."
