Vieri was quoted by Goal:
“Listen, Juventus can win anything every year. They have a fantastic side.
“When you have Cristiano Ronaldo with you, you always start 1-0.
“Pirlo has an amazing team. He can win everything this season. Let's see what happens. Nine years in a row winning the Scudetto, of course, sooner or later you will lose it because motivation-wise, you can't have that motivation every year.”
Juventus will face Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia semis and Vieri believes Juve can overcome Antonio Conte's side despite losing to them in the league.
Vieri added:
“Inter have a fantastic team this season. [Achraf] Hakimi, [Arturo] Vidal, [Ashley] Young, [Alessandro] Bastoni, they're all good players. They're solid, more solid defensively than three to four months ago. Up front they're fantastic. Anyone can win.
“Against Juve, Inter played fantastically [in Serie A]. Technical wise, physically. Let's see what happens in the semi-final.”
