The Italian champions face Manchester City on Wednesday with a place in the last-16 on the line, and their coach wants three points to make qualification safe

Massimiliano Allegri says Juventus "still haven't achieved anything in the Champions League" despite reaching the final last season.

Juve, who lost 3-1 to Barca in the 2014-15 decider in June, face Manchester City in their penultimate Group D fixture on Wednesday.

The Serie A champions are second in the group, five points ahead of third-placed Sevilla, and are seeking this week to join their Premier League opponents in securing a berth in the round of 16.

A draw in Turin will be enough should Sevilla fail to beat Borussia Monchengladbach, but Allegri wants his players to remain in control of their fate by overcoming Manuel Pellegrini's team.
