Juventus coach optimistic following Champions League draw

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is feeling positive following Thursday’s Champions League group stage draw.

The Bianconeri were drawn in the same group as Manchester City, Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach which, as well as tough trips to England and Germany, means a reunion with Spanish striker Fernando Llorente will happen quicker than expected after he completed his move to the Spanish side.

“Playing against Manchester City, the tradition of Borussia, the friend of Juventus in Llorente, tough challenges and a fascinating draw but we’ll make it!” Allegri tweeted.

The current Scudetto holders will hope to go one better in the competition this year after finishing runners-up to Barcelona last season.
