Juventus News: Allegri reflects on Juventus’ season
According to Massimiliano Allegri, their season was practically over after losing to Sevilla in the Europa League semi-final with a score of 3-2.
Following their elimination from the European competition, Juventus received a penalty of 10 points in Serie A due to their transfer activities, causing them to fall to seventh place with 59 points.
Juventus then experienced an unexpected 4-1 loss against Empoli and a 1-0 defeat at home against AC Milan, which eliminated their slim chances of finishing in the top four.
“It has been an anomalous season, the team put together 69 points, so we should be proud and thank them for what they did,” Allegri added, stressing that without the points penalty, they would have qualified for the Champions League.”
“Football gives, football takes away, just like life. We will emerge fortified from this situation. But some teams qualified for the Champions League because we had 10 points taken away. Everyone can agree on that, can’t they?”
Allegri stated that the club’s basis was still robust and that the achievements of the season should not be undervalued.
“There are some teams who spent six years without being in the top four. On the field, we were in third place. We played the Europa League semi-final and the Coppa Italia semi-final.”
Allegri expressed that his team is exhausted and cannot wait for the season to be over after their final match against Udinese next Sunday.
“The main thing now is just to rest, the sooner, the better. After the Udinese game, we must calmly evaluate and realise there are good foundations, it is not all to be thrown away.”
