Federico Chiesa, the Juventus winger, says the fact that they grabbed an away goal gives them strength and motivation ahead of the second-leg game.
“Our approach to the game wasn’t right and we faced an uphill battle from the start," Chiesa said.
"As soon as your concentration level drops in the Champions League, you get punished and we fell behind in the opening seconds.
"We did score, however, which gives us strength and motivation ahead of the second leg. We’ll have to give everything at home, which will certainly be different in terms of the game and Juve’s performance.”
