JAKARTA - Juventus completed the match week 25 of the Italian League 2021/2022 against Atalanta. In the away match at the Bergamo Stadium, Juventus were able to avoid defeat because they ended the match with a 1-1 draw.

Despite surviving defeat, the Bianconeri's position is still not safe in the ranks of the four standings. Seeing the current situation of the team, Massimiliano Allegri as the Juventus coach confirmed that his team had been knocked out of the hunt for the Scudetto this season.

"We were officially out of the Scudetto hunt long before this match. The distance between the points that have to be cut from the top three teams is too much," said Allegri, quoted from Football Italia.

If you look at the acquisition of points, currently Juventus still has 46 points. That number is two points ahead of Atalanta. However, Atalanta have only played 24 times while Juventus have played 25 times. If La Dea win in that one saving match, then the Bianconeri will clearly be overtaken.

"We just want to improve our performance, especially in the finishing. We need to be better than now," explained the coach.

Allegri also feels that his team's defense has not shown a satisfactory performance. That's why the coach is reluctant to talk about the title.

"I think in the last 10-12 years, the only team with the best defense that failed to win the Scudetto was Maurizio Sarri's Napoli a few seasons ago. In September I said, Inter will win. I still feel they are the strongest squad, without compromising respect to Milan and Napoli."

"And now, Inter are stronger than Juve. We lost too many points at the start of the season. If the difference is only four points, maybe we can still have fun, but the situation is not like that right," Allegri concluded.
