Juventus coach Max Allegri insists there's no favourites facing Atalanta in the Coppa Italia final.

Juve go into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw with Salernitana.

“Well, let's hope for better tomorrow evening," said Allegri.

“We have reached our Champions League goal, and now we have an amazing final to play, against a team that is playing very well and I would also like to congratulate them for reaching the Europa League final.

“Tomorrow, regardless of tactics and technique, we need availability on the pitch and to win as many duels as possible. We know that there will be tough moments in every game and we will have to counter attack in the best possible way.

“Coppa Italia finals are always a 50/50 affair, you have to take it in your stride, knowing that the matches don't always end as you expect them to.

“Football is wonderful. In an instant, everything can turn for or against you, just like in this season.

“At the moment, everybody thinks Atalanta are favourites, and for us, tomorrow could be our last final. It will take clarity, calmness and concentration, and the better team will win. Then we will all shake hands."
