Juventus are heading into the home stretch of the campaign in the unusual position of being in the title hunt of three competitions.
The Turin giants, who on Sunday host Genoa, will be in buoyant mood because this week they won 3-0 at Borussia Dortmund to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals for just the second time since 2006.
Juve progressed with a 5-1 triumph on aggregate, with Argentinian striker Carlos Tevez providing three goals and setting up one more in that tie.
"We handed in a great performance and the team is in good form," Tevez said on his club's official website. "We are not thinking about who we will face in the next round.
"The important thing is that we are there."
Massimiliano Allegri's men, who are also through to the Coppa Italia semi-finals, must now turn their attention back to Serie A with 10 weeks remaining in the season.
Juve have a commanding 14-point advantage over Roma.
Against Genoa, the Bianconeri will be without French midfielder Paul Pogba, who is out for two months with a muscular injury that he sustained in midweek.
