Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini proud to reach 500 games

Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini is proud to have reached 500 games.

Chiellini reached the mark with their Champions League win over Atletico Madrid.

He said, “A couple of weeks have passed and I think we've fully realised what happened, so are now even more fired up for these final two months of the season. We want to do something special and continue experiencing those emotions that we felt against Atletico.

“The Juventus Stadium had created this magical atmosphere that we hadn't felt for a while here in Turin. I think it was an exceptional boost that we felt from the start, making it a different game from all the others, so we want to feel that again.

“There will certainly be the opportunity against Ajax, but right now it is important to concentrate on Serie A. We have a good advantage at the top of the table, but want to get the Scudetto sorted as soon as possible."
