Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is keen for his players to stay grounded after their rout of Hellas Verona.

Juve are now five points clear at the top of the table.

"So far this season we're top of the table, through to the next round of the Champions League and Coppa Italia. The only setback was the defeat on penalties in the Super Cup.

"There's a long way to go and we will certainly run into difficulties. Let's not forget when we had a series of draws people acted as if everything was collapsing, but a season is bound to have highs and lows.

"We are in good physical shape at the moment and that will be the most important element in the second half of the season, especially as the fixture list gets packed."
