JUVENTUS

Ronalbởi vì misses a sitter, miễn phí in the middle, ten yards out. A wild blast over. See, kids, he is human after all. Then Juventus nearly clalặng a consolation, first through Higuain & then Cuadravị. But they can’t force the ball home, and it’s all over. The reigning European champions are as good as in the semi-finals already, having ripped last year’s runners up lớn bits. The icing on the cake: Ronaldo’s sensational bicycle kiông chồng, a goal you’ll be seeing again, và again, và again, & again. And you’ll not get sichồng of it either. Three in a row suddenly seems a very real prospect.

90 min: Ronalvì dribbles down the left with hat-triông chồng scoring intent. He enters the box & fires hard towards the bottom left. Buffon tips the ball round the post. The corner leads to lớn nothing. But Real come bachồng at Juve sầu again. Asensio has a whaông xã from just inside the area. Buffon gathers a poor attempt easily enough.

87 min: Real are toying with Juventus now. They ping the ball hither và yon. Eventually it’s teed up for Kovacic, who twangs the crossbar from the edge of the area.

85 min: Ronalvì races down the inside-left channel & tries to lớn flick over Buffon, but doesn’t work out his angles correctly this time.

84 min: Marcelo strides down the left & crosses deep. Ronalvị rises high at the far post, in tìm kiếm of his hat-triông chồng. Buffon, whose dream of completing his mix with a Champions League medal is in ruins, rises higher lớn clalặng.

82 min: Asensio romps down the left và pulls one back inkhổng lồ the centre for Modric, who tries khổng lồ flash an outside-of-foot worldie inkhổng lồ the top right. It’s wild. And it’s his last act of the evening. He’s replaced by Kovacic.

78 min: Quite a few Juve sầu fans have sầu chipped off already. The many who remain have sầu fallen silent. But credit where it’s due: their collective sầu sporting reaction to Ronaldo’s goal reflects very well on them. Ronalbởi accepted their applause graciously too. A lovely moment, though bittersweet as hell for the bianconeri.

76 min: Cuadravì chưng replaces Khedira, while Asensio comes on for Isco. “Pele’s goal in Escape to Victory was just a little bit better,” claims David Bull. Who could argue?

74 min: The thing is, Juve haven’t done that much wrong. They’ve sầu just been run ragged by the reigning champs. Again. Few teams would have an answer to this.

Marcelo cuts in from the left & one-twos with Isco khổng lồ his left. Then he one-twos with Ronalbởi to his right. Then he rounds Buffon on the right và pokes into an empty net. That’s a wonderful goal, though it looks slightly ordinary in the context of what Ronaldo’s just done. Still. Juve’s hearts are broken.

71 min: Ronalvì chưng shanks a shot wide right from 12 yards. He’s only human after all. “I’m not much of a Juve sầu người, but seeing reaction shots of Buffon looking sad makes my heart ađậy,” writes Kári Tulinius. “I rarely root for hlặng, but it takes a heart of stone to lớn root against him.”

68 min: Ronalvày lets a smile play across his lips. He’s earned the right. That bicycle kiông chồng was beyond brilliant. You’ll be seeing it a few times.

66 min: A high kiông xã inkhổng lồ Carvajal’s ribs, in the middle of the park. It looked more clumsy than aggressive, but that’s a second yellow, and Juve’s Champions League campaign is falling khổng lồ bits in double-quick time.

Chiellini and Buffon get inkhổng lồ a tangle, the former poking the ball past his own keeper as he rushes from his line. Ronalvì gets onto lớn the loose ball, và threatens to lớn shoot from a tight angle on the left. He can’t find space, so tees up Vazquez instead. Vazquez shoots for the top right. Buffon, recovering, parries magnificently. The ball breaks to lớn the right. Carvajal hooks it back into the centre ... where Ronalvày, his bachồng khổng lồ goal on the penalty spot, sends an overhead kichồng inlớn the top right! He steered that magnificently! Perfection! Buffon was rooted, & had no chance! And the Juve fans stand as one lớn applaud the sheer brilliance of the man. That was sensational!

62 min: Space for Asamoah on the left. He’s got men in the box, but blooters his cross over the area and to safety on the other wing. Marcelo waltzes off with the ball.

60 min: Something of a lull, which will do the European champions nicely. Juve sầu need khổng lồ up the tempo here.

57 min: Barzagli fannies about on the edge of his own box. Isteo barges hlặng off the ball & Ronalvì chưng is clear on goal! But the referee gives Juve sầu a không lấy phí kiông xã. That’s pretty generous. Juve breathe again.

56 min: Dybala looks to flip one over the wall & inkhổng lồ the top right. Navas goes off after it. But the ball deflects off the wall - Ronalbởi, by the looks of it - & flies in the other direction! It’s surely going to lớn nestle inkhổng lồ the unguarded left-h& side of the net. Time stands still ... và the ball somehow flies out of play for a corner, lớn the left of the post. That didn’t look physically likely. And the resulting corner comes lớn nothing.

55 min: Dybala dances down the middle of the park. He’s cynically barged from behind by Ramos, who is shown a yellow card. Real Madrid’s captain will now miss the second leg. And this is a miễn phí kichồng, just outside the Real D. Dybala springs up. He fancies this all right.

53 min: Ramos takes his sweet time to lớn get back on his feet. The Juve fans don’t appreciate his time-management skills.

52 min: Carvajal knocks Higuain lớn the ground, and this is a chance for Juve sầu to load the box. The ball’s pumped inkhổng lồ the mixer. Bedlam. Navas accidentally whacks his own man Ramos upside the head. Ooyah, oof. Higuain snatches at an effort from outside the area: it’s well over the bar.

50 min: Benzema robs Bentancur in the midfield, then races down the right. He bursts into lớn the area but can’t quite sort his feet out for a shot. No worries. The ball breaks lớn the right for Ronaldo, who shoots low from an absurd angle, his effort nearly nestling inkhổng lồ the bottom left. The ball flies inches wide of the post. So cđại bại to lớn a second that would put Juventus in all sorts of bother.

48 min: Now Costa skitters down the right, putting Real very much on the back foot. He curls one across the face of the Real goal. Notoàn thân in black & trắng stripes anticipates the fine cross. The ball bounces apologetically out of play to the left of the goal.

47 min: Douglas Costa spreads a ball down the left for Asamoah, who briefly threatens khổng lồ break into the Real box. Not quite. But Juve sầu have come out with the air of men who know they realistically need something in the next 45 minutes.

Both teams have sầu been lively in attachồng. But it’s the visitors who have the precious away goal. That Cristiano Ronalvì, huh? A scorer now in ten consecutive Champions League games!

45 min: Dybala tries lớn nip through a gap between Casemiro & Modric on the edge of the Real box. He goes over Casemiro’s leg. Too easily, says the referee. Booking.
