Juventus midfielder Manuel Locatelli was delighted after their Europa League win at Freiburg.

Juve are into the quarterfinals winning 2-0 home and away.

Locatelli said: “In the second half we had to do better having the game in hand, but the important thing was to go through and we succeeded. It's clear that whoever plays here has to give their all, we know we have a lot of injuries and tonight we played for them too, we're missing important players and every time we take the field we know we have to give important answers and we're succeeding.

"I feel important, but it is the others who have to elect the leader. I try to do the best, the maximum, that I can do. Second half? It is clear that we have suffered too much, the shot would be not to do it and manage the match better. If we had the explanation maybe we wouldn't have played like this, we took the wrong approach in the second half and this needs to be improved, we have to keep growing."
