The coach was full of praise for his side after the win over Borussia Dortmund, while Giuseppe Marotta gave all the credit to Allegri himself
Massimiliano Allegri has hailed Wednesday's Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund as a "beautiful" night for both Juventus and Italian football.
The Bianconeri followed up their 2-1 victory in Turin with a 3-0 second-leg success at Signal Iduna Park to progress to the quarter-finals for the first time in two years 5-1 on aggregate.
Allegri was elated with his side's performance, and particularly that of Carlos Tevez, who scored two goals and set up another for Alvaro Morata.
However, the Juve boss refused to be drawn on just how far they can go, given that they will not know the identity of their quarter-final opponents until Friday.
"It was a beautiful night, but now we must not stop: we must look forward, and wait for the draw," he told reporters.
"The result of this evening is the result of all the work we have done together, with the boys and the club.
"We played an important game, taking home an important result for Italian football. This team must be aware of the ability they have and I think we have the quality to do even better than we did against Dortmund.
"But in the meantime I have to say that we had a really good game and I am very happy.
"We played very well especially in the second half. Our team is great technically and physically. We have an extraordinary squad and Carlos Tevez up front is top quality.
"Now let's see how the draw goes, but we showed we can play. This result is deserved, but not we must stop here: we must try to move forward."
Meanwhile, Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta was quick to give all the credit for Juve's last-16 success to Allegri, who succeeded Antonio Conte at the helm last summer.
"I just want to emphasise and bestow the highest honor to our coach, Massimiliano Allegri, who was greeted with the utmost skepticism earlier in the season," he added.
"We are first in the league with a great lead, we progressed with great credit to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. A big round of applause goes to the coach and the team that has done well to follow his work.
"Max had great courage to sit on this bench, but also showed great courage in achieving these results."
