Juventus coach Fabio Capello labelled French striker David Trezeguet the "best there is" after his two goals gave the Italian side a 2-1 Champions League win over Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Trezeguet gave Juve the lead and after Sebastian Deisler brought Bayern level, the Frenchman struck again for the 85th minute winner.

"Inside the area he has few rivals with his agility and his finishing ability. I would say that at the moment he is the best there is," said the Juventus coach whose team are now level with Bayern on nine points at the top of Group A.

"It was a difficult game as we expected against a team that was solid and strong technically - it wasn't easy to overcome them," said Capello.

"They are dangerous at set-pieces and they showed that with a header that went close and then the goal they got.

"I was very satisfied with the result, against an excellent, excellent team who are strong physically and technically.

"I think Bayern will cause problems for everyone they play," said Capello who altered his formation radically throughout the game. The Juve coach even took off winger Mauro Camoranesi just 18 minutes after he had entered the field.

"Camoranesi came on and looked nervous and never got in the game so I thought I would replace him with (Adrian) Mutu," he said.

Magath pleased with effort

Bayern coach Felix Magath had no complaints about the result or the way his team took on Juventus.

"It was a tough game as you know it is going to be at Juve. We were able to play well but Juve found a way to push on a bit more but they were the ones who absolutely had to win this game," he said.

"They got the upper hand over us as the game went on but I'm very pleased with the performance from the lads over 90 minutes.

"It was annoying to give those goals away though," added Magath who said Bayern remained in a strong position in the competition.

"Now we want to get the three points against Rapid to make up for this and move towards our aim of qualification," he said.
