Andrea Pirlo: 'Victory was well deserved'

Andrea Pirlo insists that Juventus's 1-0 victory over Fiorentina in the Europa League second leg was "well deserved".

Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo has insisted that his side's victory over Fiorentina in the Europa League was "well deserved".

The 34-year-old struck the winning goal after 71 minutes to send the Old Lady into the quarter-finals of the competition at their Serie A rivals' expense.

"It was important to move forward [in the Europa League]," Pirlo told Mediaset after the match. "We wanted to qualify and I think it was a well deserved win from what we saw here tonight.

"A game that lasts 180 minutes [is a long time] but we knew we could do it. We want to continue progressing in Europe as well as Serie A."

Juventus currently lead the Serie A table by 14 points.
