Champions League: Why we defeated Man City 2-0 – Juventus manager, Motta

Juventus boss, Thiago Motta, has explained why his team defeated Manchester City 2-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Motta watched as goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie gave Juventus the victory over Man City at the Allianz Stadium.

Speaking after the game, Motta suggested that Juventus defeated Pep Guardiola’s side because his players played with their ‘heart and soul’.

“We played with heart and soul, but also our heads, with the desire to do things the right way,” Thiago Motta told Amazon Prime Video Italia.

“We knew before the game that we’d have to defend deep a lot more than usual, but we did it together as a team. In attack, we also had to go together, strike at the right time, and that is what we did.

“It is a deserved victory; the lads did well and we also had some players back from injury, which means our medical staff is working well to get players in good shape.

“Those who came off the bench gave a big hand to those who needed it.”
