“The objective is to win, always. It was a difficult game, personal records are pleasing, but the objective is the three points for the team,” Ronaldo told Sky Sport Italia.
It followed up their 3-0 Champions League triumph at Camp Nou, which allowed them to top their group.
“The win in Barcelona was very important, because to beat a side like that on their own turf really boosts confidence and belief. We saw the results here tonight.
“Winning in the Champions League is always difficult, we have to flip a switch to move onto Serie A form, but the coach let us realise we had to make changes and we did that.
“Juve’s objective every year is to win the Scudetto and the Champions League. Only one team can win either of those tournaments. What we can do is believe and dream of winning something important.”
