Juve won 2-0 on Wednesday evening, with Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie on the scoresheet.
“We played with heart and soul, but also with our heads, with the desire to do things the right way,” Thiago Motta told Amazon Prime Video Italia.
“We knew before the game that we would have to defend deep a lot more than normal, but we did it together as a team. In attack we also had to work together, strike at the right time, and we did that.
“It's a deserved win, the boys did well and we also had a number of players back from injury, which means our medical staff are working well to get players into good condition. Those who came off the bench gave a big hand to those who needed it.
He also said of McKennie: “Weston can do anything.
“It is difficult to take Koop away at the best of times because he manages the team and conveys the things we need, when to press and when to stay solid.
“Weston can do everything, he has an unusual physicality but also great technique, knows when to time his runs and can be even more dangerous when he comes in from the back, as we saw today and against PSV Eindhoven.
“We are lucky to have players with these qualities because he can offer us different alternatives during a match. I'm happy for him and all the players tonight.”
