Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri has underlined the importance of clinching the Serie A title before next week's Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
A point against Sampdoria on Saturday will secure a fourth successive title before they host the first leg of the semi-final tie, and Allegri is keen to head into the test on the back of a league triumph.
"It's important to go into it as Italian champions. The squad is fit so the best team will play [at Sampdoria]," the Juventus boss told reporters.
"We're calm. We know we have the chance to reach the historic milestone of four consecutive Scudetti; four for the players, the club and the fans, and my first as coach of Juventus."
It was confirmed on Thursday that Pogba will miss the visit of Real with a thigh injury.
