Juventus must improve on last season's early European exit if the squad is to be deemed as the best ever at the club, says Edgar Davids.
Edgar Davids has insisted Juventus' current squad, led by record signing Cristiano Ronaldo, cannot be labelled the club's best ever until they at least reach the Champions League final.
Asked if Ronaldo's Juventus is the greatest crop of players seen at the Bianconeri through the years, Davids replied: "Did he reach the Champions league final? No. But I hope they can make it next year.
"It is becoming an obsession for Juventus. When you want to be the best it has to be an obsession."
Juventus have added free agents Aaron Ramsey, Adrien Rabiot and Gianluigi Buffon, as well as bringing in Merih Demiral and Luca Pellegrini during the close season.
Ajax's in-demand skipper Matthijs de Ligt has been tipped to make the switch to the Allianz Stadium too, but Davids has his reservations.
"He has only played one season at the highest level," Davids said at the Operazione Nostalgia 2019 event.
"I don't think we have to exaggerate his evaluation."

Juventus rely too much on Ronaldo and put pressure on him for the Champions League losses. One man can’t bring such big glory. Even the best, Ronaldo.

He is the best player all over the world It's true that he didn't reach his best performance last season, as someone who watches football for a while now can tell that every player needs time at least a season to get use to his surroundings and environment... Now is the season he is going to perform at his best and may he lead Juventus to a successful season

When Ronaldo went to Madrid, he didn't win champions league that year, it took time before Madrid won the first champions league with Ronaldo. All I no is, Ronaldo will complete the circle by winning champions league in England, Spain and italy.

Ronaldo is depended on a lot at juve. He got the far himself but needs a little bit of help for them to go all the way
