Paulo Dybala said Juventus earned Bayern Munich's respect after fighting back to earn a 2-2 draw in their Champions League last-16 first leg on Tuesday.
It was a game of two halves as Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben put Bayern in control before the break, only for Juventus to hit back through Dybala and Stefano Sturaro.
Dybala's goal was his first in the Champions League, and the 22-year-old said Juventus have what it takes to defeat Bayern in the away leg in two weeks.
"We were aware it was going to be very difficult, but we made them respect us in the end. We put our heart into it and did well to get a draw. We can do it," Dybala told Mediaset Premium.
"We gave everything we had and never gave up. In the first half we allowed Bayern too much room, but did better in the second half by pressing high.
"It will be tough in the second leg, few teams can beat Bayern on their own turf, but if we play with this heart and determination then we can do it."
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri was less satisfied with the results, and underscored the difficulty of winning at the Allianz Arena.
"In order to qualify we have to win and now we have to do it there," he said. "The team played well and we have to build on the second-half performance more than the errors of the first half.
"We should've done better playing our way out of defence, but still created some interesting opportunities.
"We improved in the second half and above all gained confidence, so we were rewarded for that. It proves that in the Champions League you need more belief and courage.
"Of course we believe in our chances, absolutely, and the fight-back gives us more confidence. Right now have to focus on Serie A though."
Allegri also said he wasn't pleased with how much possession Bayern were allowed to enjoy in the first half.
"Bayern's last man was often Arturo Vidal and we should not have allowed them that much space," Allegri said. "As long as Bayern maintained a certain tempo, it was not easy for us. Fortunately they lost intensity and we came out.
"We need to have more confidence in our own abilities and not sit so deep. We can do it and I'm happy to have certain players back from injury."
