Revealed: Juventus' line-up for assault on third Champions League title

Revealed: Juventus' line-up for assault on third Champions League title
Antonio Conte has included new star signings Angelo Ogbonna, Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez as they hope to go beyond the quarter-finals this year

Juventus have included summer signings Angelo Ogbonna, Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente as well as fringe players Simone Pepe and Fabio Quagliarella in their 24-man squad for this year's Champions League campaign.

Both Pepe and Quagliarella had been linked with a move away from the Serie A champions earlier this summer, but eventually stayed put and will now be eligible for European football, while Angelo Ogbonna, Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente have helped to strengthen last year's squad.

Head coach Antonio Conte's men will be looking to improve on last season's performance when they crashed out in the quarter-finals against Bayern Munich.

The Italian champions have been paired with Real Madrid, Galatasaray and Copenhagen in Group B. They kick off their campaign away against Copenhagen on September 17.

FULL SQUAD

Goalkeepers: Buffon, Storari, Rubinho
Defenders: Chiellini, Caceres, Ogbonna, Peluso, Barzagli, Bonucci
Midfielders: Pogba, Pepe, Marchisio, Padoin, Pirlo, Asamoah, Vidal, Lichtsteiner, Isla, De Ceglie
Attackers: Vucinic, Tevez, Giovinco, Llorente, Quagliarella
