“The characteristics of this team is that everyone has to be ready, even if they play five or 10 minutes.

“This trophy was deserved for the whole squad that worked so hard to get here. Now we can prepare for the next challenge.

“The Coach knows how to press the right buttons and the motivation comes by itself.”

Juve can win the Treble against Barcelona in the Champions League Final on June 6.
