Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal confessed that he was desperate to take and score his side’s penalty against Monaco to boost his low confidence.

The Chilean has been frustrated personally with his recent performances while he has also missed from the spot in this competition previously this season – most notably a last minute group stage penalty kick against Olympiakos which did not prove costly for his team.

On this occasion, he was coolness personified and said afterwards: “I was low and missing a bit of confidence so I took the ball to take the penalty and thankfully, I scored.

“I am happy with that goal and from here on out, I hope to play with more confidence.”

He added: “We heard a little fear and anxiety during the game [from the crowd] but I think that this is normal because we are playing a very good Champions League team. In the end though, it was important to win the game and we did.”
