Juve boss gets tough

- KIERAN GILL

JUVENTUS manager Massimilia­no Allegri has said his team have to be ‘fiendish’ to beat Real Madrid in tonight’s Champions League final. Allegri has called on his Juve stars to show they are ‘tough’ when the Italian and Spanish champions meet at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. ‘We have worked hard all year and the wins this season have been all about reaching this game,’ said Allegri, who also led Juve to the final in 2015 when they lost to Barcelona. ‘But we need to win and we need to understand when will be the moments to attack and when to defend. ‘We have to have the belief that we can bring that cup home and we have to be fiendish to strike when Real offer us an opening. ‘Two finals in three years is an important step but it is not enough. We have to win and we must be tough, technicall­y and tactically. ‘We aren’t here to visit Cardiff. We came here to win and take that trophy back home.’
