Torino striker Maxi Lopez believes his side can beat Juventus in Serie A for the first time since April 1995 ahead of the 140th Derby della Mole on Sunday.

The Granata are winless in their last 17 top-flight games against the Bianconeri, but the Argentine attacker is motivated to alter this record for the Toro supporters.

“It would be fantastic for our people to return to victory after 20 years. Just think of the celebration,” the 31-year-old told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“We all have the opportunity of writing an historic page in the book of the Granata, and I don’t intend to let it slip by.

“Juventus can be defeated. It’s the people that spur you on.

“In days like these you breathe in history and tradition, everything becomes very mystical. Certain games are exciting to experience.

“As for my future, I try not to think about it now, the upcoming game is far too important, for ourselves and for the supporters alike.

“But my priority is with Torino, full stop. I am ready to stay here for life, especially if Toro continues to grow.”
