A solitary Cuadrado strike was all that proved the difference between the two side on Tuesday after a series of wonderful saves from Buffon kept the Old Lady's lead intact.

Gonalons told BeIN Sport: “What more do you want us to do? We gave everything in this tactical battle.
“We had chances but came up against a Buffon at the top of his game. He was absolutely remarkable. We lost but we can be proud of what we did because we stood up to a team that will be fighting to win the Champions League. We need to stay positive.”

Juventus will qualify for the last 16 if they beat Lyon next time out, while Group H rivals Sevilla will also be able to advance if Lyon lose in Turin.He believes the group is still wide open and feels Lyon must retain belief that they can progress.

He told UEFA: “We came up against a really good goalkeeper, a world-class goalkeeper. We got our heads up after the penalty miss and created chances. Seeing Higuain and Dybala on the opposition teamsheet is quite something, but when you are out on the pitch you forget who you are up against."
