Juventus coach Max Allegri isn't panicking after their 3-0 rout by Barcelona.

Juve lost 3-0 in the Joan Gamper Trophy on Sunday.

Allegri stressed the first half was encouraging and vowed to be ready for the opening match against Udinese on August 22.

“I'm sorry about the result, but the team played a good game, especially in the first half," Allegri told Sky Italia.

“We've all been together for only three days. We need to find our best condition. They were far ahead, but I'm satisfied with what the team expressed.

“We conceded two avoidable goals, but the important thing is to be ready on August 22 and to take three points in Udine."

Allegri spoke about Lionel Messi's departure from Barcelona.

"It was news that shocked everyone, it wasn't easy for the club or for him [Messi] after all these years," he said.
