Massimiliano Allegri: 'Juventus must beat Olympiacos'

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has admitted that his team must beat Olympiacos on Tuesday to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

The Italian champions currently sit in third place in Group A having taken just three points from their opening three games of the competition.

While acknowledging that Juve need to pick up a victory against the Greeks if they want to remain hopeful of reaching the last 16, Allegri is eager for his players to approach the game calmly.

"Tuesday evening will be an important test and we must play well and with great intensity," he is quoted as saying by Goal.com. "We need to win. We're playing for nearly everything.

"We have only three points and we must remedy this situation, but we must play a different game on a technical level to the one we played in Athens (a 1-0 defeat). No anxiety. No rush."

Juventus come into the match on the back of a 2-0 win over Empoli in Serie A.
