Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci says the result was all that mattered after victory over Valencia.

Mario Mandzukic struck for the 1-0 win as Juve reach the Champions League knockouts.

Bonucci said at the final whistle: "The important thing was to qualify, we will go to Bern to win the first place.

"Wojciech Szczesny is a great goalkeeper, it happens that you have to get ready in these matches.

"The most important feature of this team is cynicism. We struggled in the first half and in the first half of the second half we managed to accept the challenge.

"In my leaving and coming back I have improved in reading the moments of the match."
