Barcelona midfielder Miralem Pjanic says they were deserved winners at Champions League opponents Juventus.

Barca won 2-0 in Turin for the first time in their history, with Mehri Demiral being sent off late for Juve.

"I am happy to have come back here and met up with so many friends," Pjanic told Mediaset afterwards.

“It was a complicated game and a tough one, but we deserved the victory against a great opponent. It gives us confidence going forward and we must build on it.

“These were two strong teams facing off, but Barcelona certainly deserved the victory more than Juve this evening. We played well in every area of the pitch and could've scored more goals, but we're satisfied."
