Max Allegri felt Juventus had “an extraordinary season,” but the second Barcelona goal was due to inexperience.

The Bianconeri had recovered from an Ivan Rakitic goal to equalise with Alvaro Morata and were dominating for a 10-minute spell, only to concede on the counter with Luis Suarez in an eventual 3-1 defeat.

“We had an extraordinary season, a great final and in our best moment of the game conceded a silly goal,” Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.

Max Allegri felt Juventus had “an extraordinary season,” but the second Barcelona goal was due to inexperience.

The Bianconeri had recovered from an Ivan Rakitic goal to equalise with Alvaro Morata and were dominating for a 10-minute spell, only to concede on the counter with Luis Suarez in an eventual 3-1 defeat.

“We had an extraordinary season, a great final and in our best moment of the game conceded a silly goal,” Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.

“There were the chances to equalise, but Barcelona have three amazing players in attack and you have to take your opportunities.

“We had trouble at the start finding our shape and the right channels. We had several attempts, including the first of the game, and played well. In some situations we could’ve done better.

“At that moment we were pushing for the second goal and left ourselves open to concede on the counter from a goal kick.

“I think Juventus had a remarkable season with the Scudetto, Coppa Italia and reaching the Champions League Final. What more could we have done?

“Now our task is to consolidate our position in the top eight of Europe, which in turn will make us even stronger in Serie A.”

Neymar scored on the counter with the last kick of the game, leading to an overly-harsh result on Juventus.

“The goal for 3-1 was when the game was practically over. I think it’s another part of the growth process, as when you feel that the match is in hand, you need to be more careful.

“It was incredible to concede that second goal in those circumstances against the run of play. We had numerous opportunities and luck wasn’t on our side, as the deflection off a shoulder went over the bar, there was a push on Pogba, so we did have our say.”
