Lucas proud after 5-star performance helped Lazio shock Juventus

Lazio midfielder Lucas Leiva was delighted with victory over Juventus on the weekend.

The former Liverpool ace was outstanding for the shock win.

At Juventus Stadium, Lucas touched the ball 83 times, creating two of the six chances Lazio enjoyed, acting as a shield for their defence: winning four crucial tackles and starting five successful attacks.

"I'm happy for the numbers we talk about and for the compliments I received," smiled Lucas afterwards.

"I am in a good stage of confidence, characterized by calmness outside and inside the field, and above all, with much motivation. I think the good moment of the team helps to grow all players individually."
