Massimiliano Allegri: 'Paul Pogba will face Real Madrid'

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed that fit-again Paul Pogba will "probably" start tomorrow's Champions League semi-final at Real Madrid.

The French midfielder played an hour of Saturday's draw with Cagliari after missing almost two months with a hamstring injury.

The Italian champions take a slender 2-1 first-leg lead to the Santiago Bernabeu, and Allegri says that he is likely to have his prized asset in tow.

"Paul is okay and will probably play," the Bianconeri boss told reporters on Tuesday.

"He is an amazing player. He has played very well this season and has scored important goals in the Champions League."

Progression for Allegri's side would represent Juve's first Champions League final since 2003.
