Juventus is set to face Barcelona in the Champions league final after
Alvaro Morata knocked his former club out of the competition.
Juve went into Wednesday's second leg of their semi-final at the
Santiago Bernabeu holding a 2-1 advantage, but they were on the back
foot throughout the first half in Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo put Madrid in front from the penalty spot in the 23rd
minute after Giorgio Chiellini had felled James Rodriguez in the area,
and at that stage they looked set to get into the finals.
Carlo Ancelotti's men continued to threaten at the beginning of the
second period too, but it was Morata - who played in last year's final
for Madrid before being allowed to leave the club - who proved the
difference.
Having also scored in the first leg, he found the net against the run of
play shortly before the hour mark this time to stun a partisan crowd
into silence.
Real pushed hard for the goal that would have forced the match into an
additional 30 minutes and preserve their hopes of a mouthwatering
Clasico final, but Juve clung on to book their meeting with Barcelona in
Berlin on June 6 with the 1-1 draw.
