A🐓fter the match, the Colombia international revealed Lazio had shown an interest in him previously, but said he only ever had eyes for Juve.

"We 🐼all know Juve's history. We have to give our lives for Juve.
"The coach saw something d𝕴ifferent and put me out, but he has faith in me. He put me on the pitch at the right time.
"It is difficult not to play for so ဣlong. But we must always be ready. I work all week to play even one minute,"
Sat🐎urday's win took unbeaten Juventus to 16 points f💜rom eight matches, level on points with leaders Napoli, who possess a game in hand.
"The i📖mportant th��ing is to try to win every game. We want to be champions, but I can't tell you now that we will win the championship," Cabal said.
