Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri denied on Thursday that his side were at an advantage because their Italian Super Cup final opponents AC Milan touched down in Qatar 24 hours late. Milan only arrived in Doha late Tuesday - a full day after Juve - after technical problems with their plane pushed back the team's arrival.
Reports in the Italian media even suggested that Milan might forego the final because the delay had impacted on their preparation. An angry Milan CEO Adriano Galliani said the delay would work in the Italian champions' favour for Friday's match. But Allegri said that was not true. "No, we don't have any advantage from being here early before them," Allegri told a press conference. "Whatever happens tomorrow we will be ready and we don't care about the other details."
