Conte delighted as Juventus win at Lyon

Juventus coach Antonio Conte was delighted with victory at Europa League opponents Lyon.

Leonardo Bonucci scored five minutes from time to snatch a 1-0 first leg Europa League quarter-final win at the Stade de Gerland.

"I was never worried by the fitness levels, as this team has always worked hard despite playing so many games this season," the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

"We do tend to do better in the second half than the first recently, against Fiorentina and also Napoli.

"It was tough today, as Lyon were above all trying to stop us from playing with man-marking all over the field. In that type of situation, you have to hope there's a one-on-one that goes well or moves practiced in training that go as planned.

"Inevitably, Lyon lost in intensity in the second half, we moved better off the ball and created several chances.

"I think the victory is a deserved result, but we know that we have achieved nothing yet, there is a second leg to play and a semi-final to achieve."
