Juventus need 'something extraordinary' against Atletico Madrid, says Allegri

Juventus are capable of producing "something extraordinary" this season in the wake of their Champions League last-16 first-leg defeat to Atletico Madrid, head coach Massimiliano Allegri says.

The runaway Serie A leaders were beaten 2-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday, with Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin putting Atleti in a commanding position to reach the quarter-finals.

Juve have only won twice in their last five games in all competitions, a run that has included a 3-0 Coppa Italia exit at the hands of Atalanta as well as their Champions League loss.
