The Old Lady maintained their unbeaten run in the Italian top flight after defeating Torino 1-0 in the Turin derby on Saturday evening.

The win moved Juve 11 points clear of second-place Napoli after Ronaldo converted a second-half penalty.

However, Allgeri has now explained why he turned his back when the Portuguese took the penalty.

"I didn't see the penalty, as I turned my back to it. I very rarely watch the penalties, to be honest," he told DAZN, according to Football Italia.

"I had asked the team to make a sacrifice. It was not likely to be a game with lots of goals.

"When Torino's tempo fell, we took control of the game.

"The fact that in the second half we were growing means that we are physically well."
