Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri insists he has no grudge against his former Chelsea employer Roman Abramovich.

he said: "We didn't spend a penny in the third year and got into the Champions League.

"Of course, once Roman Abramovich bought the club, it was almost like fantasy football in the fourth year, and we could spend money on whoever we wanted, even if we could only do that from June, so that was a bit late.

"Monaco is history now. Now we're here to write a new page in history. I remember the home leg. We were 2-0 up and they scored a handball goal.

"I guess I can say that had we gone in 2-0 up, we would have gone into the final. But that's history. We can't change that now."

Ranieri insists he will have no hesitation in shaking the hand of Abramovich if he should meet him tomorrow.

"Of course I will shake his hand," said Ranieri. "The last time I saw him was in the dressing room and he told me this would always be home to me."
