Juventus have a month to improve before Champions League final, says Massimiliano Allegri

Juventus have a month to improve before the Champions League final, says manager Massimiliano Allegri, who has urged his players to keep their focus.

The Serie A side reached their ninth European Cup final with a 4-1 aggregate win against Monaco in the semi-finals and will now feature in the Cardiff showpiece on Saturday, June 3.

With just under a month to go until the match against one of the two Madrid clubs - who play on Wednesday - Allegri has given his side the task of improving even more but has asked them to keep their focus as the Old Lady target the treble.

"Juventus have a very good chance of winning the Champions League this season but we need to play even better," he told the club's official website after Tuesday's 2-1 second-leg win.

"We have a month to work on improving and we must not forget that we have some very important games before then.

"We need a point at Roma on Sunday, otherwise we'll have to beat Crotone to win the Scudetto. We must remain alert and fully focused at all times.

"I'm delighted with my players and what they've achieved this year. It wasn't easy to go on the sort of run we've had in the Champions League.

"Now we've reached the crunch phase of the season and we need to give things some serious thought tomorrow because we haven't won anything yet.

"We have the league, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League - in that order - to think about."

It will be Allegri's second appearance in a Champions League final with Juventus in three years as manager, but he insisted he cannot take the plaudits for their success.

"I'm not interested in taking the credit. I do my job with enthusiasm. I'm interested in results and I'm able to achieve them because I have quality players to work with," he added.

"I love coaching and that allows me to go about my job calmly. When I start feeling stressed out and I'm not enjoying myself anymore, then I'll stop."

Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim also praised the efforts of his young side after their exited the competition, who will now have the Ligue 1 title firmly in their sights.

"On the one hand, there was a very experienced team and on the other, there was a young side," he said.

"We are very happy with this semi-final and very proud of the players. The players gave everything and we could have drawn tonight.

"We exit the competition with our heads held high. Now we are going to focus on the league."
