"Three months ago, some people wanted to strangle Dani Alves," Allegri said with a smile. "But when a player is good, he's good in June, September and the following June... he hasn't turned mediocre.
"Anyways, Alves is not someone we've discovered in the past three months. He's won 29 titles."Kylian Mbappe scored a consolation goal in the 69th minute for Monaco, as Juventus remained on course for the treble. Allegri's side is likely to secure an unprecedented sixth Serie A title on Sunday at Roma, while it is also in the Italian Cup final.
Two years ago, Juventus was in a similar position but it lost the final 3-1 to Barcelona. This time, it could be Juve's year, especially after it eased past the Catalan team 3-0 on aggregate in the quarterfinals.
