Juventus coach Thiago Motta believes his team deserved the win after performing as planned.

The Bianconeri beat Manchester City 2-0 at home in the Champions League, Stage 6, on Wednesday. The Bianconeri now have 11 points.

“We play with heart and soul, but also with brains, with the desire to do things the right way,” Motta told Amazon Prime.

“We knew before the game that we had to be deeper than usual but we did it together as a team. On the offensive side, we had to do our job together, attack at the right time and that’s what we did.

“It was a well-deserved win, the players did really well and we’ve got some players coming back from injuries which means the medical team have done a great job getting the players back in shape.

“The players who came ทางเข้า ufabet on as substitutes all performed as expected.”

Manchester City are the reigning Premier League title holders and were expected to be among the Champions League favourites, but are now struggling to make the play-offs.

“It was a very different match to Leipzig, for instance, with all due respect. We had to defend deeper, but the important thing was to attack in numbers when we won it back and get lots of bodies into the box, because if we have that, then Dusan doesn’t have all the focus on him,” continued Thiago Motta.

“He can make the difference in the penalty area, which is what he did today.”
