Juventus were victorius over the Champions league holders
Real Madrid on Tuesday after a 2-1 victory.
Real Madrid was stunned by Italian champions Juventus in the
Champions League semi- final in the Juventus Stadium, Turin. Alvaro Morata
opened the scoring before Cristiano Ronaldo equalized for Real Madrid and
Carlos Tevez scored from the spot after the break. Juventus very well deserved
the victory as they took advantage of a lackluster Real Madrid midfield.

The first goal came around the tenth minute when Carlos
Tevez was unmarked and he fired a shot at goal and eventhough it was saved well
by Iker Casillas, Morata was waiting inside the box for a tap in.
After the goal Real Madrid played well with passing moves
and crosses and it paid off in the 27th minute when Carvajal
provided a ball to James Rodriguez inside the box and the Colombian lobbed the
ball towards unmarked Cristiano Ronaldo who was unmarked and he headed in to
give Real Madrid the equalizer and an important away goal.
Real Madrid played
well till the break. They had a glorious opportunity when Isco played a ball
into the box and James’s diving header went off the bar.
After the break Juventus were on fire passing the ball well
in midfield and providing quality balls into the box and the breakthrough came
in the second half in a Juventus counter. All Real Madrid players were up for a
set piece and a clearance away fell into the feet of Carlos Tevez and only
Carvajal was there in front of him. Carvajal did well to contain Tevez and in
the end he made a clumsy and unwanted challenge on Tevez and the referee
pointed towards the spot. Carlos Tevez made it 2-1 to Juventus after his
penalty went in.
Ramos’s form in midfield for the last couple of matches was
not found in this game as his passing were not accurate and long balls were
often given away. Bale got little touches on the ball that he didn’t have even
a single effort on goal.
But Real Madrid have a vital away goal in their favor and it
may come in handy in the second leg which takes place next Wednesday.
