Alessandro Bastoni hailed Inter Milan's impressive 2-0 win against Juventus.

The result was never really in doubt at San Siro, as Nicolò Barella created one goal for Arturo Vidal and scored the second himself on a long Bastoni ball.

“We really wanted to win this and prepared well," the defender told Sky Sport Italia.

“We were fully concentrated for all 90 minutes and didn't run many risks at the back, so it went very well. I think you could tell from the performance that we prepared well.

“The midfielders give us a big hand with their work in front of the defence. Even when we play against less prestigious sides, there is always going to be quality and it's tough when you are left one-on-one against anyone.

“If we stay compact between midfield and defence, it's better for everybody. We work really well as a team."

Asked about his stunning assist, Bastoni added: “We'd been trying that for a long time and it only really worked tonight. In fact, the coach told me: 'At last, you did it!'"
