The Champions League thrashing at the hands of Real Madrid in the quarter-final sparked reports of a revolution within the squad and on the bench.

“The defeat to Real Madrid changes absolutely nothing. The club is solid with a reliable structure. The plans have always included a mix of youth and experience.

“This era of Juventus began in 2010 and it ends when the President leaves. We have gone through different Coaches and players, the club has grown and taken its rightful place in history, we have clear plans and need a mix of champions.

“Unfortunately, in the Champions League you are battling with Real Madrid and Barcelona, sides who have different firepower and power in general compared to our clubs.

“We go forward with our approach and can achieve victories our way too. We are seeking a permanent spot in the top eight European teams and so far we are achieving that. The draw is crucial in Europe and it hasn’t been kind to us this season.

“Allegri has a contract, a strong rapport with the club and we are discussing the future in terms of transfer strategy and squad formation. This will be the club set-up for 2018-19.

“We’re not looking for a revolution, but an evolution, gradually inserting new players.”
