Juventus captain Alessandro del Piero says they must take advantage of AC Milan's defeat to Lazio.

Writing on his official website, the 37-year-old captain reflected on the situation the Bianconeri find themselves in.

"We went into this season white, in every sense, but we're still first in the standings," wrote Del Piero. "The games last night left us still smiling about our ranking.

"With a point advantage and a game still to play, we must be good and exploit the chance to stretch our lead, even if it is still too early to stop and look at the table.

"We are already concentrating on the next game, the one on Sunday against Siena at the Juventus Stadium. Hopefully the weather will be better, in any case, we want to keep going!"
