Patrice Evra reveals his half-time advice to Juventus and why Max Allegri’s “menu” was crucial in the Champions League.
The ex-Manchester United full-back has remarkable experience in this competition and was a valuable asset when eliminating Real Madrid 3-2 on aggregate.
“The Champions League Final was an objective from the first moment Juventus called me,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“Every time I play in this competition, I get the feeling I’m going to the Final. I try to do my work on the field, but I thank those who wanted me and my experience here.”
Juve had won the first leg 2-1 in Turin and secured qualification with a 1-1 at the Bernabeu.
“We were never afraid. At half-time, when 1-0 down, I told the lads it’d end like this. I knew we had to suffer, but that we’d do it.
“I told them it was impossible that we’d leave there without scoring a goal and that proved to be the case.
“A lot of credit must also go to Coach Allegri, as he always changed the menu, by which I mean the formation.
“Now we’ll see what menu he has in store for us in Berlin.”
Juventus will face Barcelona in the Champions League Final in Berlin on June 6.
