'Juve are favourites for the Champions League, along with City'

Sarri is living the dream in the Premier League. His Chelsea side are top of the table after eight matches, alongside Liverpool and Manchester City. Furthermore, his style is being implemented slowly and week by week Chelsea are beginning to show more of the scintillating football that was seen at Napoli under the Italian. 

Speaking to 'Corriere dello Sport', he opened up on his relationship with the club from Campania: "I will love Napoli and their fans for all my life. I know what they think of me, how they think and when they think it. Always. Ours is an unbreakable love, eternal. 

"The other night I was thrilled during Napoli - Liverpool. Excellent performance, until the final breath. I said, as a fan, that I made me happy to think they tired them out days before they came to Stamford Bridge."

Next, he came out with a surprising proclamation: "Juventus don't have rivals. When I say this people think it is out of self-interest. It's like that today, I am already fleeing. This year they can win the Champions League, there are two candidates. Them, and Manchester City. I have always thought that Guardiola's side is maturing for a final assault at European success. 

"Then we will have to see how the Spanish sides are in March. Today they can go one way, but everything changes quickly in the Champions League."
