Max Allegri says “it’s not true” that Juventus can’t win the Champions League but “details and good luck are fundamental”.
The Bianconeri reached the final of the competition last season, losing to Barcelona, and were unlucky to be eliminated by Bayern Munich this season.
“Juventus have played many finals, it’s not true that we never go all the way in Europe,” Coach Allegri insisted in an interview with Sky.

The Bianconeri reached the final of the competition last season, losing to Barcelona, and were unlucky to be eliminated by Bayern Munich this season.
“Juventus have played many finals, it’s not true that we never go all the way in Europe,” Coach Allegri insisted in an interview with Sky.
“Last year we had a great Champions League campaign, maybe we were a little fortunate in the semi-final against Real Madrid.
“This year we were less fortunate, but the Champions League is a competition in which the details and good luck are fundamental. Just look at the results from the last few years.
“The league should always be competitive, Juventus have the duty to try and win a sixth title, it would be something extraordinary.
“After the summer competitions the lads can rest and this year we’ll do a completely different preparation. In the Champions League the objective is to get through the group, then they’re all knockout games.”
Allegri is also counting on a less hectic pre-season schedule to aid his side for next season.
““It won’t be more complicated to prepare this summer because we don’t have the Supercoppa in the middle.
“Two years ago we went to Australia, we worked really well and had a lot of time to prepare for the league.
“Last year we left late and had some problems, this year the season starts on 21 August we we’ll see how the Euros go.
“Not everyone can get to the final, the last to arrive must be good and recover because I won’t be in a hurry to select players who aren’t ready.”
