Barcelona are the favourites to win this season's
Champions League.
The Italy international was on the losing side in last season's
final as Barca defeated Juve 3-1 in Berlin.
Barca have scored the second most goals of any side in the
2015-16 competition and Buffon believes they are well
placed to become the first team to win back-to-back
Champions League titles.
"It's difficult to say. The season goes for 11 months and
there are moments of elation and moments of suffering,"
Buffon said as Juve prepare to face Sevilla in Spain.
"At this point in time I think there is no team that have more
chance of winning the title than Barcelona.
"But if you think back to last year, until December Barcelona
were a very strong team, a squad to be feared, but they
didn’t shine.
"Maybe at that point Bayern Munich or Real Madrid were
seen as favourites ahead of Barcelona. That means that
over 11 months a lot can change in terms of the odds and
your chances of winning.
"Right now Barcelona are absolutely the strongest, both in
regard to the Spanish teams and the European teams."
