Juventus defender Nicola Legrottaglie is a happy man after helping his side claim their second 1-0 win against Maccabi Haifa on matchday four of the Champions League in Tel Aviv.

Legrottaglie combined with Giorgio Chiellini in the centre of defence, to help the Bianconeri to a clean sheet for the night.

"It was a mission which we successfully completed," the 33-year-old told the club's official website, Juventus.it.

"They were fighting hard and managed to surprise us at the start of the match. However, there is much more room for improvement for us.

"We work together as a team and can make a difference, because if we manage to concede goals at one point or another, we are able to generally score.

"We have great players, but still we must be more careful, and then we can achieve great things.

"In the Champions League, we are conceding very few goals and this is important because it will help us go through to the next round, which is imperative," the Italian international summed up.

Juventus will need to turn their attention to Atalanta this weekend, as the Italian giants are seven points adrift from leaders Inter.
