The Serie A champions, having won the first leg of their
Champions League quarter-final tie 3-0, is in the driving seat ahead of Wednesday’s
second leg in Spain.
However, Allegri is wary of allowing dominate them,
especially after they overturned a 4-0 first-leg deficit against Paris
Saint-Germain in the last round.
“The most important thing is that we forget the three goals
in the first leg and play to win again,” Allegri said at Tuesday’s media
conference.
“We have huge respect for Barcelona and we know that we will
need to play even better again to go through.
“Not a lot will have changed about Barcelona: they will
still have the same weaknesses and strengths. We need to keep our heads and
find a way to score at least once.
“We need to defend well and attack well. Simple.
“We must not get carried away by the occasion. If we keep
our cool and play our own game, we will be OK.
“Juventus have grown gradually as a European power; we need
to be at least in the last eight every season.”
