(ANSA) - Turin, February 21 - Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said Thursday that his side can reverse the 2-0 defeat they suffered at Atletico Madrid on Wednesday in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. "20 days, 20 days to BE READY to WIN a contest, and WIN all together," Allegri said via Twitter referring to the return leg in Turin. "Until the end".
