Juventus coach Max Allegri was left upset after their 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.

Arek Milik had Juve 1-0 ahead before Christian Kouame struck for the draw.

Allegri said, “Fiorentina pushed hard and we missed a few situations in the buildup. Let's say we practised a good defensive phase.

“He had played several games and Milik could've given us an extra hand. Not just the goal. I wanted to rest him, then there were forced changes.

“If we want to be realistic, the most important game in the Champions League is at home against Benfica.

“Di Maria came off as a precaution after only two training sessions, we'll see how he is. With a bit of patience we'll get there."

Allegri also stated of the game: “In the second half we dropped a few players, but the thing to absolutely improve on is that when you have the chance to go 2-0 up, you have to take it. Those are the key moments that decide seasons and we still don't have that nastiness.

“You can also miss the shot, but I didn't see meanness. You have to get used to that again, it's not all easy. That's all, then I don't get angry at the guys for anything. From that moment then came the corner and the equaliser, which changes everything. In Florence then."
