But further north their former midfielder Emre Can will be kicking his heels in frustration after left out of Juventus' squad for the group stages. And in this special podcast, Paul Wheelock speaks to Italian football writer, and author of the book, Juventus: A History in Black and White, Adam Digby, about how Can's time in Turin has turned sour and just what happens next.
