Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci was delighted with their Coppa Italia triumph over Lazio.

Bonucci admits they had to grind out the 2-0 win, Dani Alves and Bonucci struck the goals.

“It was a tough game, but we took the right approach and rediscovered our qualities. The defeat on Sunday did us good, it woke us up and now we have to focus on Crotone," Bonucci told Rai Sport.

"Lazio have a lot of quality in attack, so it was natural in a one-off game we'd have to allow them chances, but fortunately super Neto rescued us tonight.

“We knew before that this was the real Juventus. It was a shock when we didn't approach Roma the right way, because Juve have got fans accustomed to living well, but it was a shake-up we needed.

“The Coppa Italia allowed those who didn't play as much to make their mark and I thank the Coach and club for giving the team so much quality and tenacity this season."
