Juventus 2-2 Real: "The Lion King" rescues "The Old Lady"

Juventus opened the scoring with a Vidal penalty, but it was Llorente who rescued the Old Lady from a defeat at home to Real, on a night when Ronaldo and Bale both scored.

Goal

Juventus:Vidal pen 42, Llorente 65

Real: Ronaldo 52, Bale 60

With only 2 points after the first 3 rounds, Juventus needed to beat Real to have a chance to enter the knockout round in a corner. Juve entered the match with determination and created an active game against Real. However, Real with a very strong attack and expensive names also had many situations threatening Buffon's goal to create a tit-for-tat game in the first 45 minutes. It seemed that the exciting first half would end without a goal, but Varane fouled Pogba in the penalty area and the referee did not hesitate to point to the 11m mark. Vidal, as usual, made no mistake to put the home team ahead before the break.

Llorente rescues Juve

Surprisingly, Juve failed to carry the excitement of the end of the first half into the second half as they were repeatedly equalized and surpassed by Real after just one hour of play. Caceres' disastrous back pass allowed Benzema to set up Ronaldo to equalize 1-1, before Bale's decisive finish gave Real a 2-1 lead.

But Real's joy of taking the lead did not last long. Five minutes after conceding the second goal, Llorente headed in Caceres's cross to make up for his mistake and bring the game back to the starting line.

The remaining minutes recorded Juve's efforts but no more goals were scored and both teams had to be satisfied with 1 point. Because, with the surprising result in the remaining match when Copenhagen beat Galatasaray 1-0, Real considered to have put 1 foot in the semi-finals when creating a 6-point gap with the chasing group, while Juve was still at the bottom of the table, but still had a chance to continue because they were only 1 point behind the 2 teams above.
