"Yes, definitely.

"But we are not even thinking about the possibility of not qualifying for the Champions League."

Paratici also addressed the rumors about Juve being sanctioned by UEFA and Serie A officials due to their involvement in the Super League, insisting they are very calm since they ‘acted with the utmost clarity’.

"We are very calm because we know that we acted with the utmost clarity, so none of this concerns us,"

Paratici said.

"I see Agnelli every day. He is working and planning for the future. I know how much he cares about the good of football and of Juventus.

"The rather violent reactions after the announcement of the Super League distracted attention from the causes and the reasons why these proposals were made.

"Some things said are simply not true, such as that it was a closed league, or that anyone considered leaving their domestic leagues."
