Allegri: Real Madrid have a great squad even without Cristiano Ronaldo International Champions Cup - Real vs Juventus Spoke after being beaten 3-1

Following a 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid, Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri faced the media to discuss the result and, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo following his summer switch between the clubs.

The Italian was impressed by the side he faced which blew away his Juventus team, as Gareth Bale and a Marco Asensio brace cancelled out Dani Carvajal's own goal.

"Real Madrid have a great squad even without Cristiano, ours is a great squad too, thanks in part to the experience of a player like Cristiano," he said.

"I saw a Madrid which is preparing, with a number of players still away, but I'm sure they will be leading in Europe."

As such, Los Blancos posed a tough test as Allegri reflected.

"It was a good game against a great team," he explained.

"It wasn't easy after playing four games and already thinking about the Italian championship."

The coach was also keen not to get carried away following the summer signing of Cristiano Ronaldo.

"It's normal that with Cristiano we will be stronger, but we mustn't think that the Italian championship will be easy and think about the Champions League," he added.

"You have to have a great respect for our rivals.

"I'll be lucky enough to coach Cristiano, which will be very prestigious for our football."

The fixture was the last of Juventus' pre-season campaign with their next fixture coming against Chievo in Serie A.
