Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has warned his team to highly respect Inter Milan as he explained that the fourth-placed rivals are currently better than the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Inter endured a difficult start to the 2016-17 campaign, but have been in great shape since Stefano Pioli replaced Frank de Boer as the man in charge, winning their last seven Serie A games.
Juventus host Inter next week and Buffon has warned his team-mates a tough game awaits in the Derby d'Italia, a clash the Turin side lost at San Siro in September.
Stefano Pioli's side are in tremendous form and stretched their winning streak to nine consecutive games in all competitions with a 3-0 victory against Pescara on Saturday.
The Juventus goalie has however warned his team to be weary of the side on hot-form.
"We now have the game against Inter coming up, who are better than Real Madrid and Barcelona on current form," Buffon told Sky Sport in the wake of Sunday's 2-0 win over Sassuolo.
"It will be a very difficult game, we have a lot of respect for them.
"Inter are very strong, they showed just that when we met in the first half of the season."

Juventus' 2-0 win over Sassulo at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore, thanks to goals from Gonzalo Higuain and Sami Khedira meant that the Bianconeri have pulled away - temporarily at least - from second-placed Roma, who suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Sampdoria.
