The Frenchman found the net at the 83rd minute in a hard-fought match that put Juve 11 points clear at the top of the table.
“Am I the Scudetto winner? No, the team won the game. It was a very, very difficult match and the victory is very important for this Scudetto,” Pogba told Sky Sport Italia.

“Am I the Scudetto winner? No, the team won the game. It was a very, very difficult match and the victory is very important for this Scudetto,” Pogba told Sky Sport Italia.
“The pass was for someone else, but I felt it and I went for the ball. It went well.”
There were loud jeers from the stands at half-time, as supporters were frustrated after Thursday’s 2-1 Coppa Italia defeat to Fiorentina.
“I thank the whole team and the fans. It’s tough for them too, but we need them throughout the season. I want to tell the supporters we need you, especially if we are playing badly, because we all win together.”
The 21-year-old was asked whether he was becoming a leader in the Juventus locker room.
“I can always do more and if I want to become a great player it means always giving more on the field and in training.
“Am I a leader? No, I am a player in the team. Even if I am young, I will say something to my teammate if it’s needed.”
