Medhi Benatia insisted that Juventus are on course for another successful season after his first-half goal secured a 1-0 win over Roma at Allianz Stadium on Saturday night.
"We want to keep winning,” he said, speaking after the final whistle. "We’re back on the right track after a tricky start to the season. If we maintain this attitude, we can achieve big things. We played as a team tonight and fought as one."
It was a particularly significant match for Benatia, who was coming up against one of his former clubs.
"The Roma players are former team-mates but also friends of mine, so it was nice to see them again," he said. "In terms of the late drama, it’s a shame we got into trouble but sometimes mistakes happen and thankfully [Wojciech] Szczesny was phenomenal."
