“We’re happy because we’ve collected another big victory. I think that you can see the desire and unity that this group has out on the pitch.
“There’s a team, regardless of the mistakes, with a desire to win and to stay together and to fight for every ball.”
The Colombia international turned his attention to next weekend’s meeting with the Old Lady.
“I believe that important games such as this prepare for itself because we face an opponent like Juventus.”
“Against Juventus there’s a desire to take to the pitch and do everything well and win this match because we’re first in the table with them and this is an extra source of motivation.
“Let’s hope all our fans come to the stadium so that we can beat Juventus. The season begins now and we must stay on this path. Juve will definitely be a tough match and we’ll try and give our all to win it.”
