Juventus have not yet given up on the championship battle, and looked satisfied after last night's (Saturday) 1: 3 win over Lazio, who reduced the gap from Inter at the top to seven points.
Andrea Pirlo's team trailed from a goal by Angel Correa, but managed to turn it around thanks to a goal by Rabio and a double by Albero Murata.
In addition, Pirlo managed to give some of his players a rest before the Champions League rematch with Porto in three days, with Cristiano Ronaldo opening on the bench and replacing Murata in the 69th minute, in a 1: 3 situation.

The reactions
Juventus coach
Andrea Pirlo
: "We did not start the game well and absorbed after an uncommitted mistake, but our reaction was very good, on the part of all the players. We did not lower our head, we increased the pace and that was the most important thing. The rematch against Porto sat in our head. "We knew that today's game would be like a cup final. Some of the players will be in different positions than usual and sacrificed for the victory. I feel more tired than the players. I also need a rest."
Juventus equalizer cook
Federico Keiza
said at the end: "We played great, but only after conceding a goal, which was scored as a result of our mistakes. We proved we have heart, fighting spirit and I believe we will be in the championship picture until the end if we play this way. Lazio showed it is a great team. "So it's our big win. On the other hand, we have to beat big teams if we want to win the championship."
Losing coach
Simona Inzaghi
: "It seems that what we did in the game was not enough and we should have worked better. It is a painful loss, especially after we were already led 0: 1. Even after absorbing the equalizer, we hit the crossbar and then in a bursting attack they scored their second goal. I think That we deserve to come out with a better result. "
