Juventus midfielder Stefano Sturaro hailed their performance for victory over Champions League opponents Manchester City.

The Bianconeri sealed their place in the Last 16 of the Champions League with a 1-0 win at Juventus Stadium, and will top the group with a point at Sevilla in two weeks.

“After such a good evening there's a happy atmosphere," Sturaro told JTV.

“In the end, yesterday was a perfect evening, as so often happens here. It's a victory which boosts morale, so today it's really good.

“The group was very difficult, because all four teams are strong, we've seen that, we've suffered, but our strength allowed us to qualify.

“The Champions League is a fascinating competition, and probably the best. I don't think there is much need to prepare for matches of this calibre.

“I always give my maximum, in every game, whether that's against Real [Madrid] or a less prestigious team.

“Of course, every game can do well or less well, that's the beauty of football. But I'll give 100 per cent and even more in every game."
