Allegri: Juventus are flying
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is thrilled with his side's recent form, but has stressed the Serie A title race remains tight.
Massimiliano Allegri has voiced his delight with Juventus' ominous form and has set his sights on a fifth successive Serie A title.
The reigning champions are on a nine-game winning streak in the league and, despite a poor start to the season, now sit just two points behind leaders Napoli.
Allegri told Juventus TV: "We didn't make a great start but now we're flying. Our goal is to win the Serie A title.
"The toughest of our recent wins? Tough question! I'll go for the 3-1 win over Fiorentina.
"I was concerned before our first game after the winter break versus Verona. Getting back into the swing of things is always tricky after a break.
"The title race is unbelievably tight and I think it will go right to the wire."
Allegri also touched on Juventus' Champions League round-of-16 tie with Bayern Munich and is optimistic about their chances of progressing to the quarter-finals.
