Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt says the result was all that mattered after their 3-2 defeat of Spezia.

Juve came from 2-1 down to earn the three points.

"The game was difficult," De Ligt told DAZN. “We played a good first half, but they scored a great goal on the last chance and that's always tough.

“Then they scored at the beginning of the second half, but our character was important to win. The only thing that mattered was the three points.

“At Juventus we have to win all the games, now we must start a new championship with these three points.

“Game after game, we will see how it will be. I'm happy with the points won today. We always play together, those on the pitch and those on the bench and it's very important.

“Even those who entered in the second half did very well."
