We will not play victims to Barcelona, insists Massimiliano Allegri

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri admits it is impossible to man-mark Lionel Messi, but insists his side will not simply roll over against the might of Barcelona's attack in Saturday's Champions League final.

Barca's front three of Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar have scored 120 goals between them on their way to completing a domestic double and reaching Saturday's final.

And although Allegri's tactical plans for Berlin have been hurt by the news that he will be without one of his defensive stalwarts in Giorgio Chiellini - the Italy international has been ruled out with a calf injury - he wants his side to believe they can cause an upset.

"We are going to Berlin not waiting for them to score against us and be the victims," Allegri told the club's website.

"We are aware of the challenge we face, it's a Champions League final after all. Hence, it's normal that you face the best players in the world. But this should not make us anxious."

"Barcelona is not like any other team. You need great patience and mental strength.

"To man-mark Messi is almost impossible, we just need to do a good job and work around him. But besides limiting Messi, Barca have Neymar and Luis Suarez.

"They have so many technical players that we will need to play a game with a lot of courage, knowing that we will have difficult times during the match and moments where we will have opportunities.

"We just have one more game and we need to be clever and bring home the trophy. We also need to be fortunate."
