Massimiliano Allegri says that his Juventus side paid the ultimate penalty for missed chances in their Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri rued missed opportunities after his side lost 3-1 to Barcelona in last night's Champions League final.

Ivan Rakitic's opener after four minutes got pre-match favourites Barca off to the perfect start in Berlin, but Alvaro Morata's equaliser after the break threw Juve a lifeline.

Allegri's side were arguably the better side for large spells of the second half, but Luis Suarez delivered a sucker-punch on 68 minutes before Neymar sealed the victory late on and completed a treble for the Catalonians.

Likewise, the Bianconeri were also vying for their third trophy of the campaign, having won Serie A and the Coppa Italia in recent weeks, and Allegri says that he is upbeat overall following an "extraordinary season".

"We had an extraordinary season, a great final and in our best moment of the game conceded a silly goal," he told Sky Sport Italia. "There were the chances to equalise, but Barcelona have three amazing players in attack and you have to take your opportunities.

"At that moment we were pushing for the second goal and left ourselves open to concede on the counter from a goal-kick. I think Juventus have had a remarkable season with the Scudetto, the Coppa Italia and reaching the Champions League final. What more could we have done?

"Now our task is to consolidate our position in the top eight of Europe, which in turn will make us even stronger in Serie A."

The 2014-15 campaign represented Allegri's first season as Juventus boss after he replaced Antonio Conte last summer.
