Juventus defender Nicola Legrottaglie was delighted after their difficult 1-0 victory over Genoa.

Juve survived the dismissal of Pavel Nedved to win thanks to Alessandro del Piero's first-half strike and Legrottaglie said: "It is good to taste victory again in a shirt that I have fought so hard to wear.

"In the past, I was unable to give the club what I was truly capable of. But now everything has changed, I am succeeding and can do even more - just like this team."
