The Bianconeri were held to a 0-0 draw in Turin, enough to see both teams through to the Champions League Round of 16.

“I think this evening we saw a game of two halves,” Apache told Sky Sport Italia.

“In the first half we had chances and they played more open football. After the break Atleti closed up in defence and made it impossible to play.

“The Champions League starts now for us and I have no preferences on who we face in the next round. Whoever we pick, we pick. The important thing for us was to get through to the knockouts.

“The Coach always tells us that to win we need to suffer under pressure all together. We win with the sacrifice of everyone. This is the Juventus mentality.
