Fernando Llorente says Juventus 'believe in the triplete', whilst admitting that the Champions League overshadows the Scudetto.

The Bianconeri have just conquered their fourth consecutive League title, but their attention is already focused on tomorrow's European semi-final against Real Madrid.

Most players and staff are sounding cautious when discussing the possibility of Juventus winning all three major titles this season, but not Llorente.

“We believe in the triplete, of course we do,” he told Tuttosport. “It's down to us. We fear nobody.

“Tomorrow we can play a great game. After all, there's no hiding the fact that it will take a super Juventus to knock out the Spanish side.

“I don't consider these the two matches of the year, but the matches of a lifetime.

“Few players in the world have the opportunity to play for such prestigious trophies. And we do.

“Winning the Scudetto was fantastic, but the joy didn't last very long.

“How could we not be thinking of Real? We need to prepare ourselves well and that's why our celebrations have been limited.

“Last year I didn't start very well, I had a thousand problems. Then I unblocked myself and I scored many goals, turning it into an important season.

“This season I haven’t done as well, I have failed to contribute as much, but I have still managed to score some decisive goals.

“And just in this recent period I have managed to retrieve the style of those better times.”

Finally, the 30-year-old discussed his Coach Max Allegri.

“He has done really well. I remember at first when nobody wanted him – I mean those outside of the team, not us players.

“He managed to win us over right away. He started out on tip-toe, then he integrated his ideas.

“He's good and he understands you, and he's competitive at the highest levels, just like his staff.

“We can still go very far with him.”
