Gianluigi Buffon hails Juventus "miracle"

Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon hails his team for fighting back to earn an important win over Olympiacos in the Champions League.

Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon has described his team's comeback victory over Olympiacos in the Champions League as a "sporting miracle".

The Italian champions were losing 1-2 with 25 minutes remaining in Turin on Tuesday before two quick goals saw them earn the win and boost their chances of reaching the last 16.

The result has seen Juve move level on points with second-placed Olympiacos in the Group A table, but the Greeks sit above them thanks to their better head-to-head record.

"Our chances of going through were in serious danger but I think a defeat would have been an unfair result," Buffon told UEFA's official website.

"After going behind in the second half we didn't feel dejected but responded well and conjured a sort of sporting miracle. This group is strong and I think you have to take some risks in order to reach a higher level."

Juventus continue the defence of their Serie A title on Sunday when they entertain Parma.
