After Juventus' elimination from the Champions League, Andrea Pirlo's men will face Cagliari as focus turns back to Serie A. The coach previewed Sunday's match at the Sardegna Arena in his pre-match press conference. "It was a heavy blow, but we have a clear path forward in mind. It requires great spirit and pride from the team. Caglari has recently changed coach and have gotten good results immediately."

On the condition of the squad: "The players are all healthy and available, except for Demiral and Bentancur. We hop to have Dybala back after the break. A champion like him has been a huge absence this season. Ronaldo is fine. He trained well to be able to play tomorrow. It's normal that he'd be upset, the rest of the team feels the same. He is one of the most important players and it's normal that conversation will center around him."

On motivation for the coming matches: "We have 13 matches and the Coppa Italia fianl. We want to show that we are Juve and we want to play the league out to the end. We own the mistakes in the Champions League that we have paid for, but now we are concentrated on the league, taking it match by match."

On his future plans: "The project has always been to match young players with more experienced ones. It's been this way from the start and will be in the future. The team and I are convinced to still have a bright future ahead, with goals to obtain in the remaining matches, that's what's important."
