Juventus v Malmo - Tevez EvraJuventus striker Carlos Tevez has revealed that the ballet dance performed in celebration for his goal was dedicated to his daughter, as he had earlier promised to her.

The Argentine was in jubilant mood after helping his side to a 2-0 victory over Malmo in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

“The ballet to celebrate the goal was for my daughter as I had promised her that,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“Differences between the league and the Champions League? There are many. It’s not the same thing. In Serie A, it is more difficult to score, but the matches in Europe are more open.

“Juve’s objective in the Champions League? First we have to qualify for the knockout stages. We didn’t succeed last year and it was a disaster.

“Now we think of qualification, then we will evaluate where to go from there.

“The suspensions? It’s [Andrea] Pirlo’s task to fill in when he returns to the field. He is a phenomenon.”

The 30-year-old former Manchester United and Manchester City player then spoke to Mediaset regarding his first goal in the Champions League for five years.

“I’m always quiet, even if I don’t score in the Champions League. My only thought was to get the win for Juventus because what happened last year is still on our minds, and it was important to play well in this first match.

“We must never give up, and we must qualify for the next round.”

The Bianconeri will leave European commitments aside as they prepare for a trip to the San Siro on Saturday night, with coach Massimiliano Allegri set to face his former player in the opposite dugout as Milan take on Juventus in a mouth-watering contest.
