Barzagli keen to keep Juve unbeaten

Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli is determined to help his side finish the Serie A season unbeaten.

Juve won the Scudetto last weekend with a 2-0 win over Cagliari, but with a home fixture against Atalanta and the Coppa Italia final against Napoli still to play, the Italy international wants to avoid defeat this term.

"Winning the Scudetto feels great. There are still two weeks until the end of the season, so we must remain focused," he told Juventus Channel.

"Sunday's game will be a chance to celebrate with the fans, and we want to look good and remain unbeaten.

"Few people expected us to win the league, but we wanted to get back to our best and be protagonists from the first day.

"Juve did not deserve a low league finish last year and we have turned it around. Then, during the season we started to believe more and more."

Antonio Conte's men will look to make it a domestic double when they take on Napoli in the Coppa Italia final on May 20, but Barzagli is expecting a tough game.

"In a final anything can happen. When we played Napoli in Naples we had great difficulty, while at home it was a great match and we drew.

"They are a solid team that has played with the same side for two or three years, with virtually the same players, and up front they are really strong. We will definitely have to be careful and prepare for the match well."
