Andrea Pirlo has labelled his star-studded attack egotistical during their 4-1 win over Romanian side Ferencvaros in the Champions League, Daily Mail.

Alvaro Morata's brace along with a goal from Paulo Dybala and an own goal from the Ferencvaros goalkeeper was enough for Juve to seal the win.

But a late goal from the home team have now seen the Biaconeri played four consecutive matches without keeping a clean sheet.

He told Sky Sport Italia:

"We're satisfied with the result, but could've done much better in terms of the performance. We made a lot of mistakes down to complacency, so we need to improve."

The Italian legend was also asked by legendary manager Fabio Capello about the performance of his forward Pirlo responded:

"I talk to my players a lot, but they make the choices when they are on the pitch. They could've been less egotistical and killed off the game earlier.
"We are playing with two forwards plus two wide men. Once we get everyone in shape, we can evaluate who to use together. So far, not everyone has been at 100 per cent, so it's been normal to rotate them and leave one out."

Juve are in second position behind Barcelona who maintained their 100 per cent record in the competition following their 2-1 win over Dynamo Kyiv.

The Ukrainian side and Ferencvaros have a point each which gives Pirlo's side breathing space in Group G.
