Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci says nothing is won yet as club chase treble
Leonardo Bonucci insists Juventus are keeping their feet firmly on the ground despite a growing belief among fans the Turin giants can realistically aim for a treble of trophies this season.
Juventus travel to crisis-hit Parma on Saturday expecting to extend their 14-point lead over Roma, who will bid to increase their one-point cushion on Lazio when they face the test of a determined Torino.
A fourth consecutive Serie A title is virtually in the bag for Massimiliano Allegri's men, but while Juve are also in contention for a first Italian Cup in 20 years as well as the Champions League, Bonucci said nothing is won yet.
"Dreaming doesn't cost a thing, but by the same token we have to keep our feet on the ground," Bonucci told Rai Sport.
"We're in a really positive period but we can't afford to think about what we've achieved or which position we're in. We have to just keep on winning and building our morale."
While Allegri's men beat Fiorentina in midweek to book an Italian Cup final against Lazio and host Champions League quarter-final rivals Monaco in the first leg on Tuesday, the nightmare is far from over for Parma.
'The Old Lady' are not expected to show any pity for the former two-time UEFA Cup champions at the Enrico Tardini stadium on Saturday.
The Gialloblu have been rooted to the bottom of the table for most of this season and are lucky to even be playing having been declared bankrupt last month.
And Bonucci emphasised the importance of the game for Juve: "Winning on Saturday is crucial for us so we don't give any hope to the teams behind us, as well us giving us a boost for the Champions League."
