After very turbulent days, which included the resignation of club president Josep Maria Bartomeu, Barcelona are back to doing the thing they know best - to win.

The Catalans beat Juventus 0: 2 and maintain a perfect balance in the Champions League so far.

But even beyond the result, Barça's players looked much better than their last appearances, with Debamela set up an early lead and Messi sealed the result with a penalty after no less than three goals were disallowed on a dissent to Albero Murata.

The Catalan media, of course, were excited about Barça's first away win after 50 years against Juventus, and their first at the new Allianz Stadium.

"Broke the Curse of Turin," reads Mundo Deportivo, while "Sports" chose the title "Empire" to celebrate the historic victory.

And the one who of course squeezed the flattery of compliments was Messi, and not just because of the successful penalty that sealed the game.

"I haven't seen Messi running for a long time, like that. He was sharp and energetic," Fabio Capello said on Italian television.

We could have scored a lot more than two goals.

We created a lot of situations and in the end we will also be able to take advantage of them more, "explained Barcelona defender Sergi Roberto." We want to see Barça control the game, hold the ball, and it worked great against Juventus.

Not only was the result good, and that was important after the loss to Real Madrid.

Bartomeu?

It's behind us and we proved it on the field today. " 

Coach Ronald Koeman added: "Our best game this season. A big win against an opponent at the highest level in Europe and we proved we can force the opponent to play our football. Honestly, I think we could have even finished the game earlier. I am very pleased with the football we played, and especially From the result and the character that my team showed. "

"It will take us time to reach Barça's level"

The old lady must miss the days before the VAR this morning, because in a situation like this, Yuva could not only not lose, but maybe even win.

"We have to get better and work hard to be at the level of Barcelona," said team coach Andrea Pirlo, who is facing his first loss.

"We knew it would be a tough game against a team accustomed to these games, while we had quite a few who made it to their second game ever in the Champions League. It will take us a while to reach that level."

Pirlo added: "It's annoying that you are left with ten players, because then you can not press the opponent. I have too many players who play 90 minutes twice a week. It is not easy, especially when they are young and inexperienced."
