Build up for the Champions League Final is just increasing every hour! Juventus already in Berlin, Germany ready for the Champions League Final match against Barcelona on Saturday 6 June at the Olympiastadion.
Here are the declarations by Juventus Coach Massimiliao Allegri during the press conference:
“The team has worked calmly over this past week and we’re ready, both physically and psychologically. It’s a pity about Chiellini’s injury, he’s had a great season and was with us all the way through our Champions League journey. Thankfully I’ve got Barzagli and Ogbonna available. If Andrea is fit, as it seems at the moment, he will get the nod tomorrow.”
“We started out with the important aim of getting into Europe’s top eight. We’ve gone beyond that and are in the final two. Now we’ll look to finish first.”
On playing powerful Barcelona’s front three players, Allegri certainly not intimidated, but preparing his players for the task.
Allegri saying, “We mustn’t think about how to stop Barcelona, but instead how to build the play ourselves, because it’s unlikely the game will finish goalless. They’re a technical side, who count on their attack as their greatest weapon, but like every team they also have weaknesses. It will be important to stay right in the game for its entire duration and have a slice of luck on our side.”
