Leonardo Bonucci confessed the 0-0 at Fiorentina was “a step backwards” for Juventus, but they will go for victory against Atletico Madrid.

“We certainly made a step backwards in terms of chances, as we had created so much in previous games and were a little less precise in the final ball,” the defender told Sky Sport Italia.

Leonardo Bonucci confessed the 0-0 at Fiorentina was “a step backwards” for Juventus, but they will go for victory against Atletico Madrid.

“We certainly made a step backwards in terms of chances, as we had created so much in previous games and were a little less precise in the final ball,” the defender told Sky Sport Italia.

“I think Fiorentina played their best game of the season. We can’t win them all, but we showed that we are a solid side who held out against a strong Fiorentina and picked up a point. It also means that no matter what Roma do tomorrow, we will still be top of the table.

“Of course I’d love to win them all, but we have to take the opposition into account. Fiorentina did well and the draw was the right result.”

The Bianconeri had won all six competitive matches in November playing with four at the back, but returned to 3-5-2 this evening and were held to a draw.

“I am happy in any system and try to put myself to the service of the team. Obviously with three I can read the situations better, but I have shown over the years I can do well with four too.”

Juventus now go into a decisive Champions League showdown with Atletico Madrid in Turin on Tuesday.

While a point would be enough to secure qualification, Juve can still top the group with a win.

“We must step on to the field with only one objective. We are not a team built to contain, but to attack,” concluded Bonucci.
