Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain has responded to the armchair critics who turned on the Bianconeri after they let slip a 2-0 lead in Tuesday's Champions League Last-16 meeting with Tottenham.

Higuain wrote - in Italian and Spanish - on his Instagram account: "Good morning everyone... how easy it is to talk after the match from your sofa or armchair. At 2-0 up everything was perfect, then at 2-2 the judgements changed quickly... we're not interested in those voices. We're going to London to qualify for the next round... best wishes to all those who really want the best for Juventus."
