Alvaro Morata returns to haunt Real Madrid

Real Madrid 1 Juventus 1 (Agg 2-3): Alvaro Morata was again the hero as a 1-1 draw at Real Madrid in last night’s Champions League semi-final second leg at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu sent Juventus through to the competition’s final.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s first half penalty made the tie even on aggregate, with Madrid ahead on goal difference. But Morata’s second half strike put Juve back 3-2 up overall and Max Allegri’s side will now face Barcelona in the decider in Berlin on Saturday June 6.

Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti brought centre-forward Karim Benzema straight back into his team after a month out injured, while Juve boss Max Allegri was also able to return fit-again Paul Pogba to his midfield.
