Juventus midfielder, Paulo Dybala has said he is ready to go all the way in the UCL after his two late goals kept his team on course for the knockout stages.
Dybala netted twice in two minutes as Serie A champions Juventus came from behind to defeat Lokomotiv Moscow 2-1 in Tuesday’s Group D clash in Turin.
Since they keep winning the Serie A, the UCL is seen as their target every season and Dybala agrees that this year is no different.
His words, “We are a team with great experience and we are eager to go all the way in this competition,”
“I think we have enough quality to do more than we did in recent years.
“I’m very happy, I really needed two goals like this. It was a difficult game but you could really see the level of experience of our team. We always remained calm until we finally scored.”
“Now we won and you all say that we can play together. But if we were losing, the opinions would have been completely different,”
“I just say that we need to keep working hard as we are doing. The coach has his own ideas and we fully trust him.”
“It was not an exceptional day, but we play every three days so a day like this can happen.”
