Juventus coach Allegri hails spirit shown for Supercoppa win

Juventus coach Max Allegri praised his players for the Supercoppa victory over AC Milan.

Cristiano Ronaldo struck the winner on the night in Jeddah.

Douglas Costa limped off in the final minutes, but Allegri assured there is nothing to worry about.

He said, “It was just cramp. I admire above all the spirit and professionalism of this team, as those who came off the bench even if only for a few minutes had the right attitude and determination to make a difference. That's what we need going forward this season.

“Dybala had a good game between the lines, worked hard to help the team and could perhaps have had more shots on goal, but was closed down by the defenders."
