Juventus GM Jean-Claude Blanc accepts they've drawn a difficult Champions League group.

Juve will face Bayern Munich, Bordeaux and Maccabi Haifa and Blanc said: "There are no easy draws: there is a strong German team, we're friends of Bayern Munich, and then we'll go to France, a country I know a little about and where there is a good coach.

"We do not underestimate anyone, especially in France, where we will go with the utmost respect."
