Both Juventus and Barcelona secured their places in the Champions League group stage after comfortable aggregate wins on Tuesday night.

This is the derby of the first Serie A round. The match at Franchi will draw a lot of attention as always when Viola play against hated rivals. Both sides fought their way to the Champions League but they will try to start with a positive result. Interestingly Fiorentina are the only of the top teams that managed to beat Juve last season. They won at Olimpico while the duel at Franchi ended without winners. Fiorentina signed very strong back-ups during the summer; excellent director Corvino knew very well the demands of the market; the also kept their start Frey and Mutu who were knocking on Milan and Roma’s door, respectively. Juventus again did a bad job in the transfer market and they will still be relying on their old squad and the money invested in Poulsen and Amauri seems wasted. None of these players are the kind that cam boost bianconeri quality, especially because their positions are already covered. This doesn’t mean that we should rule out Juventus; they still have a respectable team, especially because Nedved and Del Piero seem younger than ever.
