Despite holders Real Madrid's presence in the Champions League last eight, the Bianconeri goalkeeper says the Catalans are the most formidable rivals
Gianluigi Buffon says Barcelona are the toughest team Juventus could have been drawn to face in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Juve are at home for the first leg on Tuesday in a mouth-watering tie that is a repeat of the 2015 final, which Barca won 3-1 in Berlin.
Buffon thinks Juve have closed the gap on Luis Enrique's side since then, but acknowledged the huge task awaiting his side.
"I think we know that in these two games we are meeting the strongest team we could face," Buffon said at Juve's pre-match media conference.
