Juventus, Allegri's pre-match press conference ahead of Monaco

Ahead of the Champions League semifinal first leg in Monaco, coach of Juventus Massimiliano Allegri spoke to the press about the match: "Sometimes, you may imagine the match going one way, but it doesn't always happen like that. We will need to be really good and have a good deal of respect for this team, we'll need to play two complete matches in order to reach the final, because against them it could be very challenging. Tomorrow we must not play as we did in the first half against Atalanta, playing a match across 80 meters. Higuain? He was brought in to make our team more powerful offensively, and he's been having an important season for us. He shouldn't be judged just for his goal record, he has played big games for us in the Champions League, but tomorrow I hope he will score. For Monaco, Falcao is an experienced player, before his injuries he was one of the strongest attackers in the world. He's getting back to that level now. Mbappé is extraordinary in his ability to play in space, as is Bernardo Silva, a player who's grown a lot."
