Cannavaro thinks Juve will suffer without Pogba

Although thinking Juventus will become a weaker side without Paul Pogba looks like a no-brainer for anyone, things might not be as they look on paper. But for Italian legend Fabio Cannavaro who played at Juventus for three seasons, selling Paul Pogba might have been the worst thing the club could have done if they attempt to win the Champions League any time soon. Cannavaro spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport about the Frenchman's exit from the club and he is not happy about it. 

He said: "Juve certainly reinforced themselves - they have a deep, complete squad and I think Higuain is stronger than Morata, but winning the Champions League is incredibly tough. Juve have acquired the habit of winning in Italy, but in Europe things are different and it's no easy task to replace Pogba. He guaranteed not just goals and technique but also a physicality that [Miralem] Pjanic doesn't have. As well as the strength of Higuain, I like the drive and personality provided by Dani Alves on the wing. But the team must be evaluated according to the new balance that Allegri will manage to develop. It'll take a bit of time."

With a new season in their hands, Cannavaro expects they have an easy road all the way to the final in Cardiff this season: "Winning the groups stage is going to be important for two reasons. Firstly because it will set them up against a second-placed team in the last 16, which presumably is not going to be one of the favorites. And secondly, because winning helps to win."
