Leo Messi, who scored a recital against Liverpool and the 600th goal of his career (a number that Cristiano also reached recently), is an "incentive" for the Portuguese striker, according to Massimiliano Allegri.
"Messi is a good incentive for Cristiano. We have a derby and Messi achieved that [600 goals]. That will ignite him and he will want to score and also finish as top scorer in Serie A," said the Juventus coach.
Allegri paid tribute to his opponents by praising Torino. "It's an important and beautiful game. Torino has lost once away, Mazzarri is doing an extraordinary job, fighting for Champions League and has a solid team. We must play like in the second half against Inter and try to get a great victory," he said.
He spoke again about his future in Juve. "Every year I have to leave, but I've been here for five seasons. The advantage is that this season we'll have a month's time to plan. I will meet with the president to talk about what we have done this season, what went well and what didn't," said Allegri.
