The Colombian came off the bench to decide the Champions League match in France after Gigi Buffon had saved Alexandre Lacazette’s penalty and Mario Lemina was sent off.

“I am happy and thank God. I tried to make the play, looked up and couldn’t see anyone in the middle, so I tried to hit a missile and it worked!” Cuadrado told Mediaset Premium.

“It was a very difficult match against a great side like Lyon, but I think we put in a strong performance, a real Juve game with a man down and showed our character.

“The objective is to top the group. Now we must turn the page, as we have a very important head-to-head at the top with Milan in Serie A this weekend.”
