44% Ball Possession JUVENTUS and 56% Ball Possession REAL MADRID
Juventus 0 – 3 Real Madrid
. 3′ Cristiano Ronaldo
. 64′ Cristiano Ronaldo
. 72′ Marcelo
Juventus failing to win the big challenge and, sadly, lost the home game against Real Madrid for the Quarterfinal First Leg on Tuesday 3 April 2018 at the Juventus Stadium in Turin, Italy.
The living nightmare for Juventus started in the 3rd minute. Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo defeating Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon with a right footed shot in the top right corner. The assist is by Isco.
The magic and incredible moment arriving in the 64th minute. A spectacular goal by Cristiano Ronaldo with a right footed bicycle kick going all the way to the bottom right corner leaving Buffon without a chance to respond. The assist is by Daniel Carvajal with a cross. Ronaldo’s goal earning the admiration of Juventus fans rising to applaud him. A cold shower for Juventus succumbing to the magic of Cristiano.

Making matters worst for Juventus is the sent off of forward Paulo Dybala in the 66th minute. Juventus remaining with 10 players.
66′ – @PauDybala_JR is shown a second yellow card and has been sent off. Juventus down to 10 men.
