Tiago

Juventus midfielder Tiago made his long-awaited return to the Champions League, after a lengthy period on the sidelines, to help the Bianconeri to a 1-0 win over Maccabi Haifa on match day four of the Champions League.

The Portuguese international played from the first minute, and was pleased with how we went, and the final result on the night.

"It was a difficult victory on a difficult field, but we did it," Tiago told Juventus.it. "Now we have a very difficult match against Bordeaux, but we will try to win there and assure ourselves of the qualification.

"It is true that it wasn’t easy to win after the defeat to Napoli, but we played well, especially during the first half.

"In the second half we suffered a little, but we brought home the result."

The Old Lady will now face Atalanta on Sunday in the league.
