Gianluigi Buffon has claimed that Juventus will be regarded as "one of the greats" if they achieve success in Europe this season.
The Bianconeri have won the Serie A title for the past three years, but they have struggled in the Champions League and failed to make it out of their group last term.
They will be assured of reaching the knockout stages if they claim at least a point against Atletico Madrid in midweek, and Buffon has acknowledged how important the match is for the Old Lady.
"Looking towards Tuesday, what we need to put in a great performance will be a different spark, to be more courageous and daring compared to the Stadio Franchi," he told reporters.
"On Tuesday a Final awaits us and we will fight to finish top, but the fundamental thing is qualification. We care a great deal about doing well with Atletico, just as we know this is an appointment long-awaited by our fans.
"We consider ourselves a team on the verge of becoming one of the greats, so we must have the strength to take risks and be more daring, even in our choice of line-ups."
Juventus last won the Champions League in 1996.
