Juventus progressed to the UEFA Champions League last 16 after overcoming Ferencvaros on Tuesday. The Hungarian side took a shock 19th-minute lead through Myrto Uzuni with Cristiano Ronaldo equalising in the 35th minute.
A stoppage-time header from substitute Alvaro Morata gave them a comeback 2-1 win at Allianz Arena. The result leaves Juve second in Group G on nine points from four games, three behind leaders Barcelona who also booked a knockout-stage berth with a 4-0 win at Dynamo Kyiv.
Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo said a tactical switch to attack down the wings instead of through the middle paid off in the second half. "Sometimes we tried too often to break through the middle while we should have played more on the flanks. It was important to win and qualify, we tried until the end and this is what I liked the most." said the former Italy midfielder.
