Juventus coach Allegri targets long Champions League run

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri is confident of a long run in the Champions League.

Juve fell at the group phase last season under former coach Antonio Conte.

Allegri said: "Fortunately in the past four participations I have always passed through to the knockout stage and once got through to the quarter-finals. The Champions League is fascinating and unique.

"Our first goal is to move through to the second phase, which is then another tournament. I will just say that we need faith. But we must also be realistic.

"The teams that are left in the Cup are incredible - Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, City and others."
