ROME, May 2 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri said Lecce delayed the Scudetto delivery on Wednesday with a 1-1 draw at Juventus and gave his side chance.
The draw cut Juve's advantage from three points to one over AC Milan who beat Atalanta 2-0 at San Siro.
"With five minutes to go, the Scudetto was practically signed, sealed and delivered," said Allegri.
"Sunday will be a wonderful evening anyway and we are really fired up for the derby. This fixture gets the players going anyway and perhaps we could not have asked for a better game, as we are highly motivated, certainly more than we were tonight.
"If we do well and Juve slip up again, then we can overtake them. The Scudetto is still in Juve's hands.
"The last 15 minutes we felt like we were at the theater waiting for the finale of an opera, because we knew only a Lecce result in Turin could help. It was difficult to predict, but that's football!" he added.
