Ogbonna Seeks Strong UCL Warm-Up

Nigerian-born defender Angelo Ogbonna has urged Juventus to finish their Serie A season in style as Massimiliano Allegri's men play their final warm-up for the UEFA Champions League final at Verona on Saturday.

May has proved a month to remember for Juve, who clinched a fourth straight league title as well as the Coppa Italia against Lazio.

The Turin club have the chance to complete a famous treble when they go up against Spanish champions Barcelona - who themselves are aiming to win the treble - on June 6.

Before then, though, Juve 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 Juve'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 away win in the league against Napoli [a 3-1 victory in January]."
