Real Madrid 1 Juventus 3: Cristiano Ronaldo scores last-gasp penalty as Gianluigi Buffon sent off on Champions League farewell

in #sports7 years ago

Cristiano Ronaldo netted an added time penalty to send Real Madrid through to the semi-finals of the Champions League despite a remarkable comeback from Juventus at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night.

Real had come into the second-leg clash firmly in control of the quarter-final tie after securing a 3-0 win in Turin a week ago.

But Juve appeared to take inspiration from Roma's remarkable comeback against Barcelona on Tuesday night when they scored three goals to look to send the tie to extra-time.

Gianluigi Buffon - who played his final Champions League game ever on Wednesday - reacted angrily to the decision, confronting Michael Oliver and subsequently being sent off for his protestations.

And with Buffon off, Wojciech Szczesny came on to try and stop Ronaldo from scoring but could not, as the Portuguese star sent a powerful effort into the top corner of the net to secure a 4-3 aggregate win that sends Real into the semi-finals of the Champions League.ucl110418an.jpg
