Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri insists they deserved their victory over Napoli.

Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal were among the goalscorers for Juve.

These sides had met in Doha only three weeks ago, Napoli fighting back twice from a goal down for 2-2 in extra time, eventually winning the Super Cup on penalties.

"Maybe I have a good tradition here. If I remember right my Milan hadn't won here for 24 years...," Allegri smiled.

"Aside from that goal, tonight we played better than Napoli and fully deserved the victory. This was like a recompense for what we lost in Doha, as then we conceded at the last minute with a ricochet that fell to Higuain. This time it went the other way.

"We have many things to improve, such as the pace of the game and the speed of passing, but it was a struggle and I'm pleased we were able to win out. Recently we had dropped leads, but this time we fought back and reacted.

"In order to win we must learn to sacrifice, suffer and fight. We should also defend a certain way and read moments in the game. That is where we must work and improve. As a team we are getting better on incidents where we lose the ball in midfield.

"Juventus won the Scudetto three years in a row, but that certainly does not mean a fourth is to be taken for granted."
