Verona – Juventus Preview: Ogbonna seeks strong Champions League warm-up

In their penultimate game of the season, the Bianconeri will hope to put in a good performance ahead of their Champions League final next week

Angelo Ogbonna has urged Juventus to finish their Serie A season in style as they play their final game before facing Barcelona in the Champions League final.

Juve have already clinched the league title and Coppa Italia and victory over Barca next week will see them lift a historic treble.

Before then, though, the Bianconeri have to complete their domestic campaign and centre-back Ogbonna is keen to put on a show.

“We are already preparing for June 6,” Ogbonna told Juve’s official website. “We want to have a good match against Verona to end our season in the best possible way before looking towards the Champions League final.”

Ogbonna pin-pointed two moments that have defined as Massimiliano Allegri’s men’s season, adding: “There’s the Coppa Italia, which we finally won after 20 years with a great final and a great semi-final against Fiorentina in Florence.

“Perhaps that was the real turning point of the season, along with the 3-1 away win in the league against Napoli in January.”

Few would back against Juve finishing off their season strongly, considering they have lost just three times in the league this season.

However, the Bentegodi has proved a difficult ground for Juve, with the club’s last two visits both finishing 2-2.
