Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has insisted that qualifying for the Champions League, and not securing the Serie A title, is the club's main objective this season.

Juventus currently sit second in Serie A after an unbeaten start to the season, but Buffon has dismissed talk of a title win in 2012.

Speaking after the club's 0-0 draw with Udinese on Wednesday evening, Buffon told Corriere dello Sport: "It was a beautiful game, very tactical and in the end a draw was the right result.

"We kept the unbeaten run and it is a fact that makes us proud, no one thought we would be able to achieve this. Our goal for 2012? It is not the Scudetto, a place in the Champions League."

Buffon has made 368 appearances for the Turin club.
