Juventus have seven Serie A games left in which to secure a Champions League spot for next season, but the players must remain focussed on each game and not on calculations, manager Igor Tudor said on Friday.

Tudor's side are fifth in the standings, which may be enough depending on Italy's UEFA ranking, but with just six points separating third place and eighth, the manager was asked if this has an impact on how they approach the remaining matches.

"For me it doesn't change anything, for those who make calculations, journalists and fans, it's only right that they have fun with it, it's fascinating," Tudor told reporters ahead of Saturday's home game with Lecce.

"Tomorrow is another battle, we try to do the right things from a tactical point of view and then you focus on the next training session.

"There is no other way to do it, these are useless calculations which don't give you anything, they only detract."
