Simeone's troops then visit Real Sociedad (03/03) and welcome Leganés (09/03) before the Juventus second leg in Turin (12/03). From the set piece, there’s an awful scramble and Juve want a corner for something or other. Atletico Madrid celebrate Diego Godin’s goal (EPA) A game where the best defenders in Europe reigned, but not in the manner anyone expected. Corner, which leads to nothing.

That moment was when the levee broke. If Ronaldo was predictably the centre of attention – with Atletico fans booing his every involvement – it was another player at the centre of everything else. Cristiano Ronaldo was the hat-trick hero as Juve sensationally turned this tie around to reach the quarters.

There have been no changes at the break. Atlético have not lost any of their last 13 home games in the UEFA Champions League knockout stage. Then Alex Sandro clatters into Gimenez while contesting a 50-50 out on the wing. But a log-in is still required for our PDFs. It’s not far off. 69 min: Rodri sprays a pass to Griezmann on the right. He relished it. Szczesny first did superbly to touch Griezmann’s lob onto the bar, before Chiellini steamed in to aggressively clear it before Costa could even react, and then responded himself by masculinely hugging his goalkeeper. Juventus might become desperate for goals at some point this evening. He takes another run along the flank, but runs out of space and it’s a throw to the visitors. Godin flicks goalwards from a tight angle, the ball breaking off Ronaldo and into the net. 15 min: Matuidi finds Spinazzola in a lot of space down the left. MADRID (AFP) - Cristiano Ronaldo's Champions League mission with Juventus stalled on Wednesday (Feb 20) as Atletico Madrid secured a deserved 2-0 victory from a thrilling first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Amid a rare old noise at the Juventus Stadium in Turin - 30,000 flags have been handed out and are fluttering like crazy - the players take to the pitch. That decision was very generous towards Juve. Another big club is going out tonight ... perhaps after extra time and penalties if the score’s 2-0 after 90 minutes. Atletico are livid, and you can’t really blame them. The latest on Tottenham and Liverpool's results and form. He cuts back for Bernardeschi, who tries a shot from 25 yards. But Szczesny gets a fingernail to the ball, and diverts it onto the crossbar! The soft decision brought out a harder edge in Atletico, who just outfought the Italian champions – and out-jumped them. That’s the last Juve will see of the big man in this tie. Less impressive – at least to purists – would have been another piece of vintage Costa. FULL TIME: Juventus 3-0 Atletico Madrid (agg 3-2), GOAL!

Antoine Griezmann had hit the crossbar while VAR twice intervened, correctly, in Juve's favour, cancelling a first-half penalty for a foul on Diego Costa and then ruling out an Alvaro Morata header shortly before Gimenez struck.

It was not only Atletico that looked like potential champions here. And it took a good couple of minutes to make. At which point Juve came again, and got the reward they deserve for their strong start to this match. UEFA Champions League - Atlético 2-0 Juventus: Champions League at a glance - News, Diego Godín is ecstatic after scoring Atlético's second, Godín: Two saves and two rebounds defined the game, Diego Godín drives in the home side's second. What a night. 45 min +1: Nope. Atlético Madrid were by far the better side in the first leg of this round-of-16 tie at the Metropolitano. This was close to a vintage Diego Costa display. A throw on the right. But the ref said that wasn’t a foul either. 63 min: Pjanic sees a long-range shot deflected out for a corner on the right. Most goals? He switches play towards Cancelo on the other flank, a fine raking pass, but the right-back lets the ball roll under his foot and out for a throw. His team have been second best so far, their defence tested to the limit. 61 min: Atletico make their second change. What a clunking finish. The home crowd don’t like it. He ended up doing very little, other than goading the fans, who in turn got even more worked up and energised their own players. He was berating himself the second it left his boot. (AP Photo/Andrea Comas) Andrea Comas, Atletico Madrid's Uruguayan defender Diego Godin (back) heads the ball over Juventus' Croatian forward Mario Mandzukic during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg football match between Club Atletico de Madrid and Juventus FC at the Wanda Metropolitan stadium in Madrid on February 20, 2019. Their last two Big Cup campaigns have ended in defeat by Spanish opposition, while Atlético haven’t lost in Italy for more than seven years, and have won eight of their last ten matches against sides from Serie A. He looks to have earned a corner off Juanfran, but the referee says no deflection. And that’s a tall order against a side so defensively resolute as Atletico. On the touchline, Diego Simeone looks reasonably content, his team having perhaps gotten away with one. Who’s walking the disciplinary tightrope? Second in the Spanish Liga, Atlético host relegation-threatened Villarreal on Saturday. That would have been some goal! First published on Tue 12 Mar 2019 18.51 GMT. But Chiellini comes out of nowhere to close the door. No. 70 min: GOAL? Juve are livid. He chases a neat Koke flick down the inside-left channel and dinks a shot over Szczesny. Although to be fair, he’s got plenty of credit in the moral bank when it comes to shooting. There’s only going to be one winner. The UEFA word, the UEFA logo and all marks related to UEFA competitions, are protected by trademarks and/or copyright of UEFA. A sensational cross finds the head of Morata, on the penalty spot. 32 min: But it’s Bernardeschi who steps up and takes it. Here’s the great man’s take on a fine Atletico performance. Ronaldo still has a pair of jets in his boots, despite his advancing years. Certainly easier to get at than Atletico, and most of their own last few seasons. 80 min: Juve wanted the ref to go to VAR there, but he wasn’t having any of it. 72 min: NO GOAL! His cross isn’t all that and cleared by Godin. That was a huge second-half performance by Diego Simeone’s side. First, Griezmann volleyed Costa in behind but the Spaniard sidefooted wide with only Wojciech Szczesny to beat. Most last-16 games? Atletico Madrid's players celebrate at the end of the match. The Metropolitano – the site of the 2019 final – did resemble the old Vicente Calderon in that regard. The rebound’s cleared, put over by Chiellini. For the second, Godin diverted the ball in off Ronaldo. He plays a delicately weighted first-time ball down the middle to release Costa.

So, if something goes wrong, they need to shift the blame to, say, the pass that came in to them, or a bobble on the pitch, or a lucky defender. Godin hacks clear, but Juve come back and earn a corner on the left. He pulls it back to the edge of the box for Bernardeschi, who sends a first-time pearler towards the top left. 50 min: What a miss by Diego Costa!

Atletico scored again as Godin rose to head in at the near post, only to turn and find Mario Mandzukic had cleared the ball to his feet. Arsenal’s psychologist used to test for this ability and quantify it. You wouldn't have imagined this outcome at half-time, but Simeone had his tactics absolutely spot on and the Rojiblancos deserved their win. It was a frustrating night for Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Bianconeri then entertain Udinese (08/03) prior to receiving Atlético for the second leg (12/03). And the roof would have come off the stadium had this one gone in. That they had the set-back of an Alvaro Morata goal being dubiously ruled out by VAR only added to the performance, because it brought out better in them, as well as those two goals. And for Juventus, whose wait for Europe's premier prize has now entered its 23rd year, when expectations are higher than ever given they now boast the tournament's most prolific ever player.

Use of UEFA.com signifies your agreement to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. A game where the best defenders in Europe reigned, but not in the manner anyone expected. A bad-luck story of the type they’ve suffered too often in Europe instead became a brilliant win, and a bad lesson for Juventus. Oblak punches clear. But the Atletico striker’s taken some of his man, so that’s a booking and a free kick just outside the area. 90 min +3: Can, deep on the right, sends a lovely diagonal ball towards Ronaldo, on the left-hand edge of the Atletico six-yard box. He powered in a brilliant header only to see it ruled out for a push but he was not deterred, and when Juve failed to clear his knock-down at a corner, Gimenez was perfectly placed. And that’s the end of a hotly contested first half.

They completely nullified all of Juve's strengths and finally took one of their many chances. But it’s going to VAR! 57 min: Diego Costa is replaced by Alvaro Morata. Morata has been judged to have pushed Chiellini in the back just before heading home. Mandzukic, facing his own goal, tries to hook clear, but only sends the ball towards Godin, on the right-hand corner of the six-yard box. He’d done his job. It didn’t involve his old level of finishing, something that has been a real problem since returning to Atletico. 6 min: After one minute and 40 seconds of waiting, the decision stands. Top of Serie A by 13 points, Juventus travel to Bologna (24/02) and closest pursuers Napoli (03/03) in their next two fixtures. Lemar swings the corner into the mixer. Atlético have never lost when Giménez has scored (W6 D2). Ronaldo, though, endured a disappointing night, suffocated from the outset as he was clattered by Godin and then outmuscled by Juanfran down the left. José María Giménez and Diego Godín fired late goals as Atlético prised a decent lead to take to Turin. The ref couldn’t give two hoots. Lemar wastes a glorious chance from the edge of the Juve box, blazing over when he had to work Szczesny at the very least. 7 min: One minute and 40 seconds, though. No more than Atletico deserve! The striker reaches the area, opens his body, and ... sidefoots badly wide to the right.

It’s blocked the second it leaves his boot. I think it was going in anyway, but try taking it off Godin if it wasn’t! A free kick out on the right is hoicked into the mixer by Griezmann. Koke, returning from injury, hasn’t been able to complete the 90. Atletico 2-0 Juventus: It was not only Atletico that looked like potential champions here. Atletico were pushing and it was Morata, on for Costa, who made the difference. Apart from that, it’s been the tight tussle we expected. Atletico Madrid- Juventus 2-0: Oppini scocciato, non si può, Bentancur non può camminare!! Spinazzola is seeing a lot of the ball early doors. There goes Juve’s perfect start. They were to gleefully remind him of that by the end. Bernardeschi takes, swinging it into a packed box. It wasn’t supposed to be like this for the grand Old Lady of Italian football. 81 min: Juve are reeling. It’s pretty much impossible to decide who has the better crest, isn’t it. Atletico Madrid 0-0 Juventus. Record signing Joao Felix scored two goals for Atletico Madrid as they secured a 2-1 win over Juventus in the International Champions Cup. The rest of the half was tighter but Atletico had two golden opportunities early in the second. Atletico go up the other end, Griezmann having a dig from distance. But VAR showed he had not only exaggerated the contact but also extended his run into the area. He makes good ground but Koke and Arias ensure there’s no gap to dribble through. It was never a penalty ... and then Chiellini half-wrestled Godin to the ground. All rights reserved. Within 25 seconds, Matuidi reaches the byline to the left of the goal and pulls back for Mandzukic, but Gimenez is there to intercept and clear. That’s a tight decision, bordering on poor. Atletico get the ball rolling for the second half. Costa was his bristling self and almost won a penalty when referee Felix Zwayer thought he was tripped by Mattia de Sciglio. Then, it was Griezmann's turn, this time Szczesny intervening, tipping the Frenchman's lob onto the crossbar before Giorgio Chiellini stopped Costa from reaching the rebound. It set the tone for the entire Atletico victory, even if he did not last it all. All rights reserved. The home fans enjoyed that immensely! 53 min: Griezmann Deserves Better pt.II! Juve celebrate the early goal, but the referee says no. One corner leads to another, and the Italian champions eventually clear. Not only did he direct his defence with the usual authority, limiting Ronado and Co; he also scored a potentially crucial goal for his team. 3 min: Spinazzola makes good down the left and pulls back for Matuidi, who shoots first time from 15 yards. That really is impressive against a defence as imposing as this. Atletico Madrid's Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak (R) makes a save beside Juventus' Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini (L) and Atletico Madrid's Brazilian defender Filipe Luis during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg football match between Club Atletico de Madrid and Juventus FC at the Wanda Metropolitan stadium in Madrid on February 20, 2019.
