Juventus put an end to Fiorentina's unbeaten record at the Artemio Franchi this season, dominating their way to an 11-point lead in Serie A.

"This is a team made up of champions and men of character," Allegri said. "To win you must have the desire to make a race more, to gain an extra centimetre, you must have the humility to put yourself on a par with the opponents on the physical plane and these players have it."
Juventus are favourites to land an eighth successive Serie A title but captain Giorgio Chiellini says the coming month will be key.
"We started a difficult month in the best way," he said. "December will be important, at the end of the month we can make an initial assessment. But from here to May, it's long."
Juve, who have only dropped two points in the league this season, are eight points clear at the top of Serie A.
