Juventus' coach Massimiliano Allegri stepped up and analyzed Real Madrid ahead of the UEFA Champions League final. The Italian boss referred to a couple of players that will surely be heavily guarded by the bianconeri defense if they play on Saturday: Isco and Gareth Bale.
Allegri broke down how Real Madrid play when any of them is on the pitch, hinting that Los Blancos are a more capable side when the Spaniard is given a chance to play.
"When Isco plays, they have a better handling of the game. When Bale does, they run the pitch a bit better, but they don't have that much fantasy. Zidane's decision is tough, but he's a great coach. A league title and reaching the UCL final are a good example of his greatness," Allegri stated.
Later in the interview, Allegri revealed that the team is in better spirits than when they played against Barcelona two years ago, losing the title match 3-1.
"The team's really thriving. It's a wonderful moment, and I believe we're in better shape than two years ago. We now know when to light up the switch and when to lay back. We have to be satisfied by what we've accomplished, but we'll be even more satisfied when we get to Turin with the cup," Allegri added.
