Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri feels that it is his team's duty to believe that they can beat Fiorentina in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia tonight.

The Italian champions will have a job on their hands as they look to hand Vincenzo Montella's team their first home defeat of the year.




Fiorentina, who last won the trophy in 2001, will feel confident about going through to the final, having won the first leg of the tie 2-1 away from home.

The incentive will be stronger for Juventus though, having last won the tournament in 1995. The Italian giants will also want to go through to the final of the tournament in order to keep their treble hopes alive. 
 


And the former AC Milan boss has urged his team to believe that a win is still possible, in spite of the odds being stacked against them.

"We have the duty to believe it is possible", Allegri told a press conference.

"In football anything is possible. We have a disadvantage and we have to go into this game in the best possible way in order to give ourselves a chance.

"Fiorentina are playing really well and it will not be easy but we believe we can do it. It has been a long time since our club last won the Coppa."
