Sebastian Giovinco hails "beautiful night"

Sebastian Giovinco says that it was "important" for Juventus to beat Chelsea in Turin on Tuesday night.

Juventus striker Sebastian Giovinco has described the Champions League victory over Chelsea as "a beautiful night".

The Bianconeri now stand on the precipice of qualification for the knockout stages thanks to their 3-0 win, while also topping Serie A by four points.

It was a must-win game for the Old Lady, who trailed the Blues - now coached by Rafael Benitez - by one point ahead of Tuesday's encounter in Turin.

They now lead Chelsea by one point with just one game remaining.

"It was important for us to try and win," Giovinco told Sky Sport 24.

"Thankfully we did that, and against the champions of Europe as well – it was a beautiful night.

"Our goal is do well in all the competitions, and this is also true of the Champions League."

Juventus travel to Shakhtar Donetsk for their final game, while Chelsea host Norwegian side FC Nordsjaelland.
