Romelu Lukaku leveled parity for the visitors via the spot but two superb goals from Juan Cuadrado sealed the crucial win for the hosts.
However, his angry reactions in the past whenever he was removed in a game made this very one a big deal. Pirlo told Sky Italia after the game as reported by SunSport, saying:
"I think it was the first time he was happy to be subbed off. We were one man down, and he'd have been chasing shadows. He was happy and smiling in the dressing room."
Meanwhile, there are indications that the 36-year-old will walk away from his contract at Juventus if they fail to qualify for Champions League next season.
With just one more game to go this campaign, they sit fifth on the table with 75 points - one point behind AC Milan who travel to Atalanta on final day on Sunday, May 23rd.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo has been urged to return to Manchester United in a bid to rediscover his form after a disappointing season with Juventus.
Despite topping the top scorers' chart in Italy this season, the Old Lady are struggling to qualify for the Champions League under his watch.
And this means the five-time Ballon d'Or winner may be playing in the Europa League next season if things end with Juve in the fifth position on the log this term.
