Juventus matchwinner Andrea Pirlo was delighted with victory over Atalanta.
Pirlo now is looking forward to their Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.
"It was a tough match and we knew it wasn't going to be easy," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"We learned from the mistakes made against Cesena and fought back to pick up all three points. Our only objective tonight was the win, even without necessarily playing very well.
"Now we'll prepare for Tuesday's game and we really needed this victory."
