Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri argued that the 2-2 draw away at Hellas Verona was an example of why his side have to kill games off.

Juve were on the verge of finishing the 2014-15 Serie A season with a win before Juanito Gomez equalised in the last minute.

“These game has taught us that we need to see games off and bring the wins home,” said Allegri to Mediaset Premium.

“We should have performed better in the final minutes, we lost the ball twice and we should have defended better from that free-kick [from which Gomez scored].

“I believe that it is possible to pick up and improve on these things, ever though we put in a positive performance.

“In view of the upcoming Champions League final against Barcelona, we need to play well and understand that we have to play a complete game to bring the trophy home.”

Allegri also spoke about Carlos Tevez’s penalty miss in the final minutes when the Argentine had the opportunity to make the score 3-1.

“Penalties are missed by those who take them,” said Allegri.

“We knew in advance that [Carlos] Tevez had already missed three this season.

“He’s [Tevez] had an extraordinary season, however, I have to offer my compliments to Luca Toni who has scored loads of goals and I hope he finishes the season as top scorer.”

The Juve boss was also reluctant to say whether he will play with a three-man or a four-man defence in Berlin.

“I still haven’t thought about it, we’ll see during the week, said Allegri.

“I’ve been thinking about lots of things, we haven’t had time to prepare for the game yet, we’ll start working again from Monday.”
