Juve came back from a goal down to beat Parma thanks to Alex Sandro's double and a Matthijs de Ligt header.
After the match, Andrea Pirlo praised his players' mental focus while the Brazilian was keen to play down his brace.
ANDREA PIRLO
“Sometimes the first obstacle is in our heads but today we went out there with the right attitude and it wasn't easy. We maintained our focus throughout the second half and our passing was more fluid. “We managed to find space between the lines and [Paulo] Dybala in particular did that very well, although a bit less in the first half. He got better as the game wore on tonight and had a great game. We've missed him this season because he's a fantastic player.
“I've known [Gigi] Buffon since we were 16 and we're still here together now. He's a smashing guy and an absolute world-class player. He brings so much energy to the team when he's out there.”
ALEX SANDRO
“The main thing is we win the match, regardless of who scores. We work hard every day to make sure we win games and we're happy with the result today. We were focused solely on this game and that's how we managed to beat Parma.”
