Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo had mixed emotions after their 1-1 draw with Atalanta.

Federico Chiesa struck for Juve, while Atalanta's goal came from Remo Freuler.

“We played against a strong team, with great rhythm, but on that floor we played on par with them," Pirlo told Sky Sport.

“We must win those games where we need to make a step forward. Instead, we have sinned a little 'lightness in some cases and we could not win the game. We must take these games home with a little more wickedness and concentration."

Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty in the first half.

“It's a pity because it would have helped us to go ahead, but these things can happen," Pirlo said.

Asked about Alvaro Morata's first-half miss, Pirlo added: "It made me very angry, it's something we can not afford, these opportunities can channel the game in a certain way.

"One must have the lucidity to make the right choice and he didn't. Aside from that he made a great game, it happens not to score goals sometimes."
