After the win, Spalletti said on Rai Sport: "It means that these players worked in the right way, even when we weren't able to bring home results.

"They were very focused, very committed to doing what is needed in this football, because you are always overwhelmed by comments, pressure, and speeches.

"You don't win a match and you're told everything; you win a match and you have to win the championship the following year. What is this, guys? 

He added: "Just because we have a two-point lead now doesn't mean it's easy, that we have to focus on finishing second, because it's impossible to achieve anything."
