Alessandro, the European night you’d 
been waiting for finally arrived in Glasgow
of all occasions in your 300th 
professional career appearance. 
Yes, it was a good game
 atmosphere and result.
We’re halfway there, now there’s another step to complete. 
Objectively we can say that we’re in a good position,
 but we also need to remain 
focused for the return leg. 
Alessandro, you played a significant 
role in one of the game’s key moments,
the goal that was initially given to 
Marchisio before being awarded to you
 Given that you were the closest to the action, 
could you provide us with your version of events? 
I immediately realised 
the ball had gone in 
and was remonstrating 
with the goal-line officials
but Claudio put it in anyway
If they’ve given it to me then I’m happy.
Claudio then went on to score the second, 
so I think he’s happy to let me have the first.  
Alessandro, aside from the goal, 
which is your main purpose in the side
people are identifying your
 assist for Marchisio 
for the second goal as crucial
Do you agree that this was 
your best moment of the game?
And how much pleasure does it give you 
when you are recognised not only for goals 
but for decisive assists for team-mates?
Yes, it’s always important whenever 
you play a part in a goal
It raises your morale and confidence
I am happy for the assist but...
it’s normal to say that I’m 
even happier with the goal
ecause a striker lives 
and plays for goals
 and then if they come in a great team result, 
as they did yesterday, then it’s even more pleasing.
You said it before, and your 
team-mates also said it after the game. 
At 3-0 qualification isn’t yet in the bag, 
but a decisive step has been made. 
3-0 away from home is an important step but...
we have to stay alert because 
they will come here fired up.
 It’s down to us to approach the game 
with the right frame of mind.
This is definitely your best 
period of the season.
Three games as a starter, three 
goals and three wins for Juve
On Saturday, you head to Rome, to the Stadio Olimpico, 
a place where you’ve always done well.
Yes, it’s another great game on Saturday.
We hope to get three points
because the championship is always important,
in fact, it’s now the most important thing
and so...
 I hope we win!
