Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is delighted with their Champions League progress.

The Bianconeri won their group thanks to a 1-0 victory away to Shakhtar Donetsk, eliminating reigning Champions League holders Chelsea.

"We proved again tonight that we are a great team who can challenge anyone in Europe. I think Shakhtar Donetsk can go all the way and are one of the form teams right now, so winning here was a huge achievement," said the defender.

"We gave 110 per cent here tonight and it was a shame we risked to the very end, as we probably deserved to score more goals."
