Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini insists Juventus can't lose when they face Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Europa League this evening.
The Bianconeri have a 3-1 aggregate lead from the first leg in Turin and are the favourites to go through to the Quarter-Finals of the competition.
Speaking to Tuttosport, Mancini was clear that Inter's victory over Chelsea on Tuesday and Juventus's prospects of winning the Europa League are an indication that Italian football is just as strong as that practiced in the Premier League.
“Inter's success shouldn't surprise anyone. There isn't as you say this difference between Serie A and the Premier League.
“In my opinion, my colleagues are mistaken in believing the opposite. The top teams can balance each other out and it's the same for those in midtable.
“Whoever is 10th in England would also be in Italy.”
Turning his attention to tonight's game, Mancini said: “Juve have a greater depth than their opponents. They cannot lose, in the sense that they will go through.”
Asked if he had any advice for Juventus boss Alberto Zaccheroni, he said: “No. He will certainly know the opponents well. Even better than me, seeing that he faced them just a week ago, while it's up to me to do so on Sunday.”
