Cristian Zanetti was delighted with his comeback for Juventus in Wednesday night's 3-0 Coppa Italia victory over Catania.

"I am happy with how I played," he beamed. "I have been away from the pitch for a long time, but I immediately felt on the same wavelength as my teammates.

"I felt good and my condition can only improve in the games that follow.

"As a team, we did well against Catania. We were out there focused and we showed the right mentality to get through.

"The Coppa Italia is an objective just like the Champions League and we will take it seriously.

"We can compete for every competition because we have a strong squad and we have managed with many absentees.

"There was a real improvement from the game against Siena and that's only natural. It was a long break and it's not easy to immediately get back to form."
