Allegri: Juventus not prioritizing Champions League

Massimiliano Allegri says Juventus is not prioritizing the Champions League over winning a sixth consecutive Scudetto.

Juve defender Leonardo Bonucci said this week that Europe's elite club competition was "undoubtedly our objective," but the head coach is not keen to sacrifice any tournament in favor of another.

The Italian champions have won five of their opening six league games to top the early season table and travel to play 19th-placed Empoli in the first of eight Serie A games to be played Sunday.

"We are taking part in every competition with the objective to win it, not putting them in a certain order," Allegri said at his pre-match news conference.
