“It will be very difficult to beat Barcelona,” the former Italian Prime Minister told RTL 102.5.
“I still haven’t found the time to talk to boss Allegri, but I won’t tell him what side to pick — I’ve never done that. I know the role of the president and that of the coach – I respect those – but a president has the right to give advice to his coach.
