Maurizio Sarri is confident in his job at Juventus ahead of their Champions League clash at Lyon.

Lyon host Juve in the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie on Wednesday night.

Sarri said, “I feel frankly even more responsibility in Italy to achieve every result. You all seem to pretend it's not happening because it suits your various narratives, but there are clubs out there with significantly more capabilities than Juventus. We are in the group of around 10-12 who can dream of the trophy.

“It's at this moment very difficult for any Italian club to chase this dream, because we were the leaders 20 years ago, but have been overtaken due to various reasons in the last couple of decades.

“A dream is not to be underestimated. If you chase a dream and achieve it, that is ecstasy, whereas if you don't achieve it, it was still a wonderful journey.

“I don't know what my future depends on, but the President pointed out yesterday this is a three-year project. I have great faith in what my President says, as he tends to be pretty clear.

“Lyon are a dangerous team, their only defect so far has been a lack of consistency. They have technique, physical strength and impressive pace. It was inevitable they'd reach this stage of the Champions League and that we'd need a great performance to get the result against them."
