Juventus forward Amauri believes his side are ready to compete in the Champions League after securing their qualification for the group stage.
The Brazil striker, who joined the Bianconeri this summer from Palermo, scored the equaliser in the 1-1 draw against Artmedia Bratislava on Tuesday, earning Juve a 5-1 win on aggregate.
The result cemented Claudio Ranieri´s side's place in the Champions League group stage after a two-year absence, and now Amauri believes the team can push on in the competition.
"The Champions League is a dream and now we can fight for this dream," he said.
"When you are at Juve, it´s natural to be enthusiastic and I am delighted to have scored this goal.
"We are all in good shape physically and we have the right mentality."
Internazionale and Roma are the other two Italian sides to reach the group stage.
Fiorentina could be another on Wednesday when they take on Slavia Prague looking to defend their 2-0 lead from the first leg in Florence.
