We shall see you all tomorrow night for Barcelona v Bayern then. Good night!

Who do you make favourites in that second leg then? Plenty of subplots kicking around the place - we will of course bring you all he action from the Nou Camp.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi is "too good" and impossible to stop, according to Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola ahead of tomorrow's second semi-final.

Bayern and Barca meet at the Nou Camp in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg, with Guardiola back at the Spanish club for the first time since leaving in 2012.

"There is not a system or coach to stop talent of Messi's magnitude," he said.

"The way he has been playing over the past four or five months, you cannot stop him. He is too good."

Messi, 27, scored twice in Barca's 8-0 win over Getafe on Saturday to reach 51 goals for the season, and in November became the Spanish league's all-time top scorer.

"Real have special players who can do special things but they were not allowed to tonight. Sergio Ramos' passing at the end was lamentable, and a lot of Real players were below their capabilities. They were really disappointing.

"We mentioned before the game about this being a difficult place to play and even though we're talking about world-class players it still might have affected one or two of them, playing here. But when Real are at home the performance levels will come straight back."

The greatest?

In honour of Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon this evening we asked you to vote for the best footballer never to win the Champions League.

The resounding winner was PSV, Barcelona, Internazionale, Real Madrid and AC Milan man Ronaldo with 36.4% of the vote.

If you never had the pleasure of seeing him play at his very best, there are many, many YouTube videos out there.

Get the kettle on, mute the EuroTechno that often accompanies them, and enjoy his unique blend of pace, strength and balletic touch. Count how many ways you can go around the goalkeeper...

It's all set up for an intriguing second leg then. The sides meet again in Madrid next Wednesday night. You do not want to be missing that.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"Personality-wise Cristiano Ronaldo bosses things at Real Madrid. If there are two balls on - Ronaldo or Bale - they give the ball to Ronaldo. Bale has to be a big strong character, but it's almost impossible to take that off Ronaldo, who I feel thinks of Bale as a threat.

"That must be hard to deal with. I also don't think Bale is 100% fit. We know he has incredible pace, and ordinarily four or five times a game he will let rip and burn off past defenders. Not once did we see that today."

Paul, Glasgow: I don't understand why Gareth Bale is getting torn to pieces. He's just come back from a six-week-long layoff and this was his first start. He can't be expected to deliver immediately after injury.

"Tonight we saw the Carlos Tevez of his early days at Manchester United and at Manchester City, it was absolutely wonderful and he didn't give the Real defenders a moment's rest.

"Gareth Bale was disappointing though. Getting the ball in the second half he looked short on confidence. Normally he would turn and run straight at the defender, but he turned out and passed it back instead. That is not the Bale we know."

'We are very confident'

Juventus left-back Patrice Evra: "The most important thing was the win. It is never easy against Real and I am very proud of my team mates and staff. We prepared very well and we got the win. We are very confident. Well done, we are 50% of the way there.

"Nobody expected us to get this far, it is 12 years since we got this far.

"Carlos Tevez has United blood like myself. He is a champion. He has had a fantastic year and we want to win the Champions League. He is a massive professional."

In numbers: Bale had one shot, 32 touches, 18 passes and created zero chances.

Carlos Tevez in contrast had five shots, 51 touches, 36 passes and created two chances.

European football writer

"In fairness to Bale, asking him to play as a centre forward - something he's hardly ever done - against a defence like Juve isn't too clever."

'Real had nine men'

ITV's panel of former Manchester United players are not impressed with members of the Real side tonight...

Roy Keane: "You can't win a game with 10 men. Gareth Bale gave Real Madrid nothing tonight. He took the easy decision every time. The reason he is at Real Madrid is because he can be brave on the ball. He didn't take a player on once and his team-mates will not be happy with him."

Paul Scholes: "They had nine men. Sergio Ramos was even worse."

Celebrating too much? Gigi Buffon leads his Juve players in a hold-hands-and-slide-on-your-knees moment, like a team winning promotion. It's not over yet lads...

"Juventus are the champions of Italy, again, and this season has been built on an incredibly good defence. They have not given away many goals in the Champions League either this year, and they are good on the break.

"Carlos Tevez looks as sharp as sharp can be, so there is every chance they can do it. I still think they are slight underdogs, but I would not be shocked - even mildly surprised - if they do it."

Gareth Bale's 'difficult' second season at Real Madrid continued tonight. There's no getting away from the fact that he was disappointing. Will he be back in England next season?

"Juventus might have taken 0-0 before the game. It's not over and they are not through yet, but this is an amazing result for them. The fans here feel they can go away from home and get a draw. That is all they need to reach the Champions League final."

Carlos Tevez's 50th goal for Juventus was the difference maker this evening. He may well need to find another in the Bernabeu...

FULL-TIME

There goes the whistle and there are huge celebrations from Juventus! Gigi Buffon embraces his defenders. It was a tactical gamble to sit on a lead but it may have worked. It may have worked.

But a 1-0 win is enough for Real Madrid in the second leg.

YELLOW CARD

As Pat Nevin says, Giorgio Chiellini has been booked for chopping down Cristiano Ronaldo.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

"Fernando Llorente just didn't catch enough of it. The centre-forward, in loads of space at the back post? He has to get it on target with more power than that. That could be so important.

What a chance! Andrea Pirlo's free-kick in was brilliant and Fernando Llorente had a sitter at the back stick! Get your head on it and book the plane tickets to Berlin - but he hardly makes contact and the ball sits up for Iker Casillas to catch. Woeful header.

INJURY TIME

THREE MINUTES added on. Juventus free-kick on the left wing. Andrea Pirlo to take.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"He isn't the quickest Fernando Llorente but if he passes it back there (see 87 mins)... it's moments like those that win games.

"Yes we know Gareth Bale's a good goal scorer but his link-up play? He and Cristiano Ronaldo have absolutely no understanding whatsoever. That's not really good enough for a centre-forward partnership. James Rodriguez has been poor too. He's another perhaps playing in the shadow of Ronaldo."

Into the last minute, Andrea Pirlo wastes a bright opening for the hosts with an overhit pass.

CLOSE!

That could have killed it! Raphael Varane makes a mistake at the back and Juve sub Fernando Llorente is onto it! He goes round Iker Casillas but the angle is very tight, Llorente can't shoot and does well to cut it back - but Dani Carvajal reads it well and clears.

"At 2-1 to Juventus this is brilliantly balanced for the second leg. Another goal for either side massively changes that. At 3-1 Juve will think they can do it, but at 2-2 they would have a mountain to climb in Madrid."

James Rodriguez is booked for a lazy challenge in midfield. Real Madrid haven't had a shot on target since they scored. That was almost 60 minutes ago...

That is awful, Sergio Ramos! Dearie me, a terrible crossfield pass to the fans in Row C. Gareth Bale then gives it away too. All the best attacking players on the pitch and nobody to find them. Luka Modric can't recover soon enough.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"Since the changes have been made there have been a lot of Real crosses allowed in. It's as if Juventus know they are capable of coping with that - 'we've got three of the best at the back' - and any ball in from Real has to be perfect.

"Fernando Llorente gives Juve a much more physical presence up top. Alvaro Morata gave everything against his old club tonight."

Sit back, sit back - Seems a strange gearshift from Juventus to be honest after they went 2-1 up. If Real equalise in the final 10 minutes, and they could well do, Massimiliano Allegri will kick himself.

SUBSTITUTION

Alvaro Morata - impressive throughout - comes off against his old club and another Spaniard, Fernando Llorente, is on.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"I don't know if there is a better back three hanging around in world football than Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barazagli and Giorgio Chiellini. Bonucci and Chiellini know each other so well as a two and Barzagli just slots in brilliantly in to make a three. Real have got their work cut out."

YELLOW CARD

Dani Carvajal - lucky not to be carded in the penalty incident - is now booked for Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the first half by the way was his ninth in Champions League semi-finals. Even Lionel Messi would have to be impressed by that stat.

Toni Kroos whistles a strike just over the top for Real as Juve sit back and counter. I couldn't be doing with this mindset, I'd be a bag of nerves. Juve - and Italy - know what they're doing though.

Carlos Tevez has now scored more Champions League goals this season (seven) than in his five other campaigns combined (six). He's often been a bit-part player throughout his career, for club and country, but build a team around him and this is what you get.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"Juventus have now switched to a 5-3-2, really steady. The home side are going to try to see this out, but they are going to play on the break as well, with the two wing-backs getting forward. It's brilliantly poised now, this game."

Into the last 20 minutes of a cracking semi-final first leg. Real may not be too unhappy with this scoreline.

Former Manchester United defender Phil Neville

BBC Radio 5 live

"For Juventus to go to the Bernabeu with just a 2-1 lead, I think they need a better cushion. It's too early for them to sit back on this but it is in Juve's mentality."

Much better from Gareth Bale. He's been more involved in the three minutes since Javier Hernandez went up front than in the hour beforehand. He chops back onto his left foot and stands up a cross which Cristiano Ronaldo is close to meeting.

Giorgio Chiellini goes down with blood spilling from his eye. Luis Suarez not to blame this time...

Superb impact from Javier Hernandez. He brings the ball down and finds Gareth Bale with a diagonal pass, Bale heads it on, Hernandez gets a touch and Cristiano Ronaldo is so close to turning it in!

Arturo Vidal goes to ground in the penalty area but Martin Atkinson isn't giving another penalty.

Real make a change, Isco is off and Javier Hernandez is on. Can he sniff out another key goal?

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"Juventus are 2-1 up and pushing for another. They are completely on top now. They've got a defender warming up on the sidelines but can they really think about sitting back now? This is a really tough call for Massimiliano Allegri. And he must have had second thoughts because Andrea Barzagli has put his green top back on."

AP

Quality from Patrice Evra, has the wheels to go round the outside and almost gets a second penalty in a few minutes from Dani Carvajal, who just about gets his feet out of the way in time. Evra slams a cross across and Pepe does well to clear.

YELLOW CARD

Just to clear up who was booked in that penalty incident - Arturo Vidal was booked for dissent, for asking for a red card, while Marcelo was booked for taking out Alvaro Morata just off the ball.

Dani Carvajal - who gave away the penalty - escaped card free...

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"Are Juventus going to sit on this now? We know they are capable of doing it, but we have got a game on here again! I loved the run-up from Carlos Tevez - it was like a high jumper.

"Martin Atkinson got everything about the penalty right. There wasn't a great deal of contact, but the referee got the decision spot on."

GOAL

Nerves? Nope. Carlos Tevez steps up to slam the spot-kick down the middle. Iker Casillas dives out of the way and Juve are back in front.

Getty Images

PENALTY to JUVENTUS

Stunning counter-attack! Marcelo has a shot for Real as they have a corner cleared, it breaks to Carlos Tevez 40 yards from his goal and just floors it. Stunning pace right through the middle, he goes round Dani Carvajal - who brings him down!

Juve want a red card too - but it's yellow.

The game is much steadier in pace in the second half, Juve trying a patient controlling approach after the heavy metal first 15 minutes of the first half. The crowd are noticeably dulled though.

How fast is Raphael Varane? He's like a young Des Walker. He put a sprint in against Atletico that was Martin Offiah-esque. 80 yards, one goal to the other, in a matter of seconds.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"I've been watching Raphael Varane and can't help but laugh when people try to take him on for pace. The boy is ludicrously fast. Carlos Tevez just wants the ball into his feet on the edge of the box, because anything long and beyond him is wasting his time.

"All the buzz in the press room at half-time was about how open this game has been. Let's hope for more of the same in this second half."

Getty Images

All-action Carlos Tevez pops up on the ball again, 25 yards out on his left foot, he bends in a shot straight at Iker Casillas. He's the top scorer in Serie A this season. Mind you Luca Toni is about third on the list. And he's 48.

YELLOW CARD

Instant booking for Carlos Tevez, whipping the heels away from Sergio Ramos. Press high, but not that high Carlitos.

KICK-OFF

Back under way in Turin.

Wonderful football from Real Madrid, it really was. Juventus will be happy to get in level after that scare.

"I cannot believe James Rodriguez missed from there, after the best move of the night. That would have been one of the best goals we have seen in the Champions League this season. The pace at which Real Madrid moved the ball, it was lightning. What a goal that just nearly was, all for about two inches. Juventus were torn to shreds."

HITS THE WOODWORK

That's a brilliant move! Dani Carvajal robs Patrice Evra right by the corner flag and Real Madrid ping it quickly across the width of the pitch, the ball going through James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos and Marcelo before the Brazilian picks out Isco on the overlap. Isco drives into the box on the left, looks up and fires in a head-high cross for James to meet. The Colombian gets there - and heads against the crossbar. He should score, he was a few yards out...

Andrea Pirlo has made 30 passes so far. Only Arturo Vidal (33) has made more for Juve - but he's not hurt Real with any of them yet.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"The goal has changed the attitude of both sets of players on the pitch. Now it's quite equal. What has surprised me is that Andrea Pirlo hasn't had much of an influence just yet. Those killer passes into full-backs running on, or into pockets of space behind the defence, we haven't seen many of those just yet."

The Premier League is a poorer place without Carlos Tevez. A cracking player. He gets Juve moving again, dropping into pockets and giving Sergio Ramos a torrid time in that anchor role.

Marcelo's passing has been poor tonight, really poor. He gives it away under no pressure and Claudio Marchisio shoots wide from 25 yards as Juve counter. England fans will remember him hitting an altogether sweeter strike in the humidity of Manaus. That feels an incredibly long time ago doesn't it?

Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo have found each other's wavelength now. The Colombian finds the Welshman with an incisive first-time ball but Juve just about scrabble it clear. The stadium has gone very quiet...

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"Cristiano Ronaldo's 54th goal of the season and without any shadow of doubt his easiest. It landed on his head less than a yard out after a lovely ball in from James Rodriguez. Suddenly, after being on top for so long, Juventus are behind in the tie with the away goal. Will they spooked by that? Or will they be brave enough to carry on the way they were?"

GOAL

That's what £150m-odd of talent can do! Quick as you like, Real Madrid slice through to equalise and it's a priceless away goal for Cristiano Ronaldo. James Rodriguez does brilliantly to get between Arturo Vidal an Leo Bonucci just inside the penalty area before lifting a cross over to the far post and giving Ronaldo a simple header from close range.

That's 76 Champions League goals. A record.

Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo both drop deep in midfield to try and get on the ball for Real but the inevitable conclusion is that Marcelo's cross is to nobody in the middle.

"This is really concerning now for Carlo Ancelotti. He is down there on the touchline with his hands on his hips and he must be thinking: 'What can I do?' Real need somebody to help out in midfield, and that is probably not going to be Ronaldo. Bale dropping wouldn't be the worst thing in the world anyway - he loves running from that position."

Getty Images

Three of Juventus' last four goals against Real Madrid in the Champions League have been scored by Spanish players (Fernando Llorente x2, Alvaro Morata).

'Viva Ronaldo!' sing the away fans but it's his former Manchester United team mate Carlos Tevez who looks more likely now. First he takes advantage of a slack touch from Sergio Ramos to shoot wide before Ramos gives it away again and Tevez shoots wide.

Ramos playing like a centre-half in midfield. Luka Modric he ain't...

Isco, socks rolled down like Jack Grealish's Spanish cousin, drives forward and hits a shot at Gigi Buffon. Easy save though. Real having more of the ball since the goal.

Real Madrid have conceded as many shots on target (four) in the first 10 minutes as they did in the 180 minutes v Atletico in the last round! Cracking start from the Old Lady.

GREAT SAVE!

You've got to celebrate against an old club in a Champions League semi-final haven't you? Biggest goal of your life.

Alvaro Morata scored 10 league goals for Real before leaving last summer. Real come back at Juve now and Toni Kroos tries one from 25 yards, difficult bounce right in front of Gigi Buffon but he turns it away well. Strong wrists.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"Real's players were claiming for offside but the English officials have got that right. The ball that was played in found Carlos Tevez in such a great position - no-one picked him up. Tevez had acres of space, and Alvaro Morata, the pain of trying not to celebrate was etched on his face. He was trying to be cool about it but he must be bursting inside."

Reuters

Before kick-off, Real Madrid hadn't conceded a goal on the road in Europe for 444 minutes. Juve's start has merited the lead.

GOAL

Juventus's excellent start bears fruit! Alvaro Morata puts them ahead against his old club and it's more weak keeping from Iker Casillas really. Carlos Tevez bursts into space on the right of the box, he drills in a low shot which is hard and Casillas can only parry it out to Morata, who taps in. Definitely onside.

He doesn't celebrate against his old club. In a semi-final?

"This has been such a lively start. We expected a game of chess but it hasn't been anything like that at all. Everyone wants to go forward. Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata have looked really lively up front for Juventus, and there have been some terrible passes to give the ball away, from both sides."

YELLOW CARD

Juve countering with real intent and a PIRLO MISTAKE ALERT! That is a rarity worth capping up. Andrea Pirlo takes too long and Gareth Bale is on him in a flash, nicking the ball away.

Bale and Ronaldo are in on the Juve back four and Leonardo Bonucci has to take one for the team, chops Bale down and is booked. Ronaldo's free-kick hits the wall.

Juventus get through the Real midfield very easily, Toni Kroos with an excuse of a challenge and Stefano Sturaro is able to lash a shot in at Iker Casillas. Nice brisk pace to the game in the opening stages.

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"That is a big call, and it takes a brave referee not to give that. There was contact but was it a foul? I think the referee just about gets it right. Arturo Vidal runs into the defender more than he was tackled by him. Terrible touch by Iker Casillas in the build-up."

PENALTY APPEAL

It looks like Gareth Bale is playing more or less up front with Cristiano Ronaldo for Real. Chance!

Iker Casillas's first touch is a horrible clearance! Juve ping it back up front, Arturo Vidal is on to it but he takes a touch and is closed down.

He wants a penalty but there's no chance of that. Could he have got a shot away?

Casillas looks like Real's weak link every time you see them...

Former Scotland international Pat Nevin

BBC Radio 5 live at the Juventus Stadium

"I hope we get an early goal but I suspect we won't because it's going to be be tactical and technical. Will Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo get the chance to run at the two Juventus central defenders? If they do then those two battles will be worth watching alone."

KICK-OFF

Game on. Real in an all black kit, Juve in their Notts County stripes.

"Carlo Ancelotti was manager of Juventus when Manchester United played here in 1999. He had a bit of class about him, and he is a nice guy. Andrea Pirlo has actually said he is the most important man in his life, because Ancelotti changed him from a number 10 to holding midfielder. He is a special guy who players love to play for. And he is successful."

How many hat-tricks?

Getty Images

Cristiano Ronaldo is unsurprisingly Real Madrid's main threat this evening, and he scored his sixth hat-trick of the campaign in a 3-2 win at Sevilla at the weekend. Sixth.

It took him past a long-standing club record of 28 hat-tricks held by Real legend Alfredo Di Stefano since 1964.

Twenty-nine hat-tricks in not quite six years. It's outrageous.

Getty Images

One man who won't be fazed by tonight's big game is Juventus's master passer Andrea Pirlo. He plays like he's wearing his slippers at all times. Makes it look easy.

Alongside him in midfield tonight is 22-year-old Stefano Sturaro - who only made his debut for the club three months ago.

Tight and cagey? Tactical? We shall see.

If you've not seen Real's last few games you may be surprised to learn that Sergio Ramos has been playing in midfield. He adds a bit of stability and plays the simple ball. After all, Real's front four of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Isco don't offer much coming backwards...

'One hell of a 0-0 draw'

Former Manchester United defender Phil Neville

BBC Radio 5 live

Getty Images

"I think it's going to be one hell of a game but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a tight 0-0 or 1-1 draw. In my experience semi-finals are more nerve-wracking than actual finals. You don't want to make a slip-up, and these first leg matches are always cagey affairs.

"Juventus is one of the toughest places to play in football. I'd put it up alongside Anfield. Playing here for Manchester United was the biggest lesson we got in terms of how to play European football. We went to Turin thinking we were a good young team and found we were out of our depth. They were an intimidating side. Paulo Montero, you feel he probably would have trampled on his grandma to win the ball. That Juve side was the standard-bearer for the United team that went on to win in 1999."

Gianluigi Buffon is still the most expensive goalkeeper of all time. Some effort 14 years on from his mega money move from Parma.

We will see two sides captained by goalkeepers tonight.

The 98 final

When you manage Real Madrid you're never far away from the sack. Carlo Ancelotti finally brought the club their 10th European Cup last season but he didn't win the league and he may not win the league again this season.

Real are two points behind Barca with three games to go. Does Ancelotti need another Champions League win to keep his job?

'You get what you deserve in life'

Gianluigi Buffon won the World Cup in 2006 and has six Serie A winners' medals, but has only reached the Champions League final once - losing to AC Milan in 2003.

"It is a strange thing because I have won virtually everything but the one thing I haven't won is the Champions League, although I have got very close, losing a final on penalties," he told Football Focus.

Reuters

Gigi Buffon cost Juventus 100 billion lire in 2001 - that's a one followed by 11 zeroes...

"But I think that life is very fair and you get what you deserve. I have not yet finished my career, even though I am pretty close to the end. I think that if it is my destiny and if I have earned it, then I will win it.

"There are at least three teams ahead of us in terms of experience at the international level and the players that they have. But I do believe that we are a team on the way up. As a group we have been playing together for a long time; every now and then a new player has come in to improve the team and that is why I think we can do well.

"In fact I am convinced of this and I think that we are able to compete with any other team. But there is a big difference between saying this and thinking that we can win the Champions League."

'Selfish' Bale back to his best?

Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Bodo Illgner

Sport Today on BBC World Service

Reuters

"In the first half of the season Gareth Bale was accused of being selfish and not passing the ball to other team members who were in better positions, like he was trying to score by himself. Last season he showed what he is capable of in the Copa del Rey final and the Champions League final but in 2015 he has got injuries again.

"Bale is a player who needs 100% fitness because that's his very big strength. If he's not 100% fit it's a very big issue for him. But he made a very good impression in the last match at Sevilla and I think he will have a good performance tonight."

Illgner, 48, won the Champions League as Real's goalkeeper in 1998 and 2000 and the World Cup with Germany in 1990.

'Solid, hard to beat Juve'

Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Bodo Illgner

Sport Today on BBC World Service

Reuters

"Juventus have a very strong side with players who have played together for a long time now, although they have a new coach. It's a very solid team. It's hard to beat them, very hard to score against them.

"Just look at the players - Arturo Vidal is excellent, Andrea Pirlo is an extraordinary midfielder even though he is getting older. Gianluigi Buffon is getting older too but he's still a very good goalkeeper with a great CV. Up front they have Carlos Tevez, and the two Spaniards Alvaro Morata and Fernando Llorente. They have very good players outside on the wings like Stephan Lichtsteiner, then they have the Italian defence - Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli."

Never won it?

My favourite national anthem singer of all time. And one hell of a goalkeeper.

Gianluigi Buffon has been Juventus' goalkeeper since 2001, amassing many medals and big wins, but he's never won the Champions League.

At 37, this could be his last chance.

12-year itch

It has been 12 long years since Juventus reached the last four of the Champions League, but fans of the Italians may well remember that in 2003 they faced Real Madrid at the same stage.

Goals from Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos gave the Spanish side a 2-1 first-leg lead at the Bernabeu, but Juve roared back to win 3-1 in Turin.
