Could Allegri have saved some players?

It has already been said, but had Juventus come up against better opposition on Wednesday, it could have been a much more problematic. But the thing is, that theory could be proven when they face Real Madrid. It was clear Juve were tiring, yet Allegri made just one substitution in the whole game, bringing on Mario Lemina for Dybala. Real will be able to pick them off if this happens in Cardiff, so the coach must utilise his squad much better.

Does Allegri have doubts over the depth after having to salvage a late draw against Torino and losing to Roma. That is one explanation, definitely, but it could also be a sign of stubbornness on his part. Real Madrid have shown they can go the distance, winning the Champions League in extra time in 2014 and on penalties in 2015.

The Coppa Italia final was won in the first half, and Juve have been able to assert their dominance in the big games this season. If they don’t against Real, though, their dreams could be shattered.
