Conte explains tears at end of Juventus victory

Juventus coach Antonio Conte welled up after their victory over Inter Milan.

Conte was emotional at the end of their 2-0 triumph.

"My aunt died recently and she was like a second mother to me," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"We had to win tonight and it's a wonderful campaign. We also wanted to give our fans this moment of satisfaction in the Derby d'Italia.

"To be honest, I am struggling to understand why Inter are so low down the standings. They are full of champions and in a one-off game can beat anyone.

"We knew it would be a struggle, especially as we played 120 minutes in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday. Inter had nothing to lose, while the pressure was on us, but we held out well."
