Benatia declares Juventus ready for Serie A opener vs. Chievo

Juventus defender Medhi Benatia has stated his side’s readiness for Saturday’s Serie A opening fixture against Chievo.

Following their triumph in the Italian top-flight last term, the Old Lady will kick off the 2018-19 season with a visit to Verona.

Juventus enjoyed success on the domestic scene in the 2017-18 campaign, winning the Scudetto and Coppa Italia titles but exited the Uefa Champions League in the quarter-finals.

The Old Lady are targeting their eighth consecutive league title in the new season.

"Important week, the championship is approaching. We are ready," Benatia wrote on Instagram.
