The 27-year-old scored the winner in what he says was a ‘deserved victory’ over Liverpool.
“It was a crazy kind of joy,” the Italian international was quoted as saying to TMW. “Celebrating under 3,000 Viola fans was a pure emotion.
“We played a great match, imposing our style of play for long periods. We deserved this victory.
“I dedicate this goal to my wife and daughter, who were not able to be here, but will see a grand match in the last 16.”
