The Men’s First Team discovered their eight opponents for the League Phase of the 2026/27 Europa League thanks to the draw, which took place in Monaco on Friday.
Juventus’ Chief Club Affairs Officer Giorgio Chiellini spoke following the draw.
“It’s difficult at this stage to say whether the draw has been favourable or not. What really matters to us is our own journey, with the aim of going as far as possible. The group stage is just one stage of a journey that will unfold over the coming months. We’ve avoided some tough away fixtures, but the aim is to earn our place in the next round.
“Both we and Milan have a responsibility to Italy, to help secure an extra place in the next Champions League. We’re two clubs that care deeply about this, and we’ll have to prove it. In Serie A, Inter are ahead of everyone else, we’re improving on last year, thanks to a pre-season programme that [Luciano] Spalletti has overseen from day one.
“The aim is to compete at the very highest level. We’ll see where the journey takes us, but once again, we’re focusing solely on ourselves. We’ve grown as a team and we want to have an excellent season. We’ve added character and solidity, which perhaps were lacking in the past, preventing us from achieving important results. At Frosinone we didn’t see the game through, we were a bit tired, which is to be expected, but there are plenty of great challenges ahead of us.”
