Juventus: last call for Allegri begging for Di Maria

The HCL coach would be at great risk in the event of a draw or defeat

After the defeat at San Siro to AC Milan, Juventus returns to the pitch. The Bianconeri are expected on the field of Maccabi Haifa, beaten 3-1 a week ago at Allianz Stadium. Allegri cannot afford any more missteps: a win is needed, preferably a convincing one.

The good news is the return of Di Maria, decisive in the first leg with three assists (Milik will sit on the bench). In case of a draw or defeat, in addition to saying goodbye to the dream of the Champions League round of 16, Allegri’s already shaky situation would become really risky. Many are clamoring, loudly, for his exoneration. Only by winning could Allegri ward off, at least momentarily, the rumors of his possible farewell to the Old Lady.
