Carlos Tevez has hailed Juve's team spirit

Juventus take on Monaco in the quarter-finals of the competition tomorrow night after a blip against struggling Parma in Serie A over the weekend.

And while Juve may lack the star power of the United side that beat Chelsea on penalties to become champions of Europe seven seasons ago, Tevez claims they are a better unit.

There were incredible individuals like Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes.

He told La Repubblica: "It's a different situation from Manchester United.

"Then there were incredible individuals like Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes.

"I think now instead what we have is a team. We are very difficult to beat, like Atletico Madrid a year ago.

"The Dortmund match showed that we can go far but it depends on us. Juventus can beat anyone and we have demonstrated that. There aren't any teams that are beyond our reach.

"Can we dream of the treble? It is possible. Dreaming cannot hurt."
