Max Allegri spoke to the media earlier today at his usual press conference ahead of tomorrow’s crucial tie with Roma which could help the Bianconeri clinch a record 6th consecutive Scudetto.

“This will be the first time we can clinch the title regardless of other results, so it only depends on us. It won’t be easy, as it’s a big game between two teams with top players who are chasing their respective targets,” Allegri said in his Press conference.

“If we do it this weekend, good, otherwise we’ll think of the Coppa Italia Final and then the next test. There’s no rush, games have to be played in the moment. Roma and Napoli deserve praise for their campaigns, as it’s a battle in Serie A and their results have been extraordinary.”

Allegri confirmed the absence of both Sami Khedira and Claudio Marchisio for tomorrow’s match.

“Seeing Khedira in the Coppa Italia Final or against Crotone next week is impossible. We’ll evaluate him day by day to see about the Champions League Final.

“I am happy that we signed Benatia on a permanent basis. He had some muscular problems, but is an extraordinary player. In terms of defence, Roma have one of the best sides in Europe.”

Allegri was asked about squad rotation ahead of Wednesday’s Coppa Italia final.

“In the last three months I have changed from five to eight players per game. The important thing is to have at least two who play regularly. In attack I have four and we’ll see tomorrow if I leave one out or start all four.”
