Juventus Women had to come from behind to claim three points against Sassuolo in Biella, but the Bianconere did just that and got the job done. In doing so, they clinched qualification for next season's Women's Champions League and allowed Lisa Boattin to mark her 200th appearance for the club with a win, and also with a stunning strike to level the scores at 1-1.

SARA GAMA'S POST-MATCH COMMENTS

“We’re happy with the win, but we can and have to do better. We showed our character today and that’s important. The approach maybe wasn’t the best, but our character showed after going behind and that’s why it’s important to start matches well. We have to congratulate Sassuolo because they played well. But back to us, I don’t think we played all that badly in the first half because we did have some chances and we didn’t give much away, we just lacked a bit of personality.

“After the loss in Rome we knew we had to bounce back, taking some of the positives we showed in that game. We definitely saw some improvements in that game compared to other matches against them this season. We have to improve on a daily basis.

“A lot of things led to me extending my contract. In the last few years we’ve won a lot and done well, now we’re going through a slightly different kind of year but we still managed to bring home a trophy this season."

LISA BOATTIN’S POST-MATCH COMMENTS

“Two hundred appearances with Juventus is an incredible achievement. It’s always an honour to wear this shirt, and to have done it 200 times is a unique feeling. I’m happy to celebrate it with a win and with a goal, it’s a goal I’ve been waiting for for a long time and it’s finally come.

“Going back to the 200-match milestone, to have done it as a Juventus fan and with my parents here in the stands is a really nice feeling.

“I think we were a little lacklustre in the first half and they were first to the ball too often and won too many individual battles. Then they took the lead, but after we levelled it was a different game. These are three important points, and we’re happy to have qualified for the Champions League."
