3 Things that went right and 1 Thing that wrong for Juventus against Real Madrid

#1 Exploiting Ramos'Absence

Navas was at fault for the equalizing goal

Sergio Ramos was suspended due to a yellow card he picked up in the first leg. His absence from the starting lineup benefitted Juventus majorly as Zinedine Zidane was forced to play the rookie Jesus Vallejo.

This was evident from the first whistle itself when Mario Mandzukic scored early on from a header to give Juventus the lead with the second goal also coming off the head of Mandzukic to make it 3-2 on aggregate in favour of Real Madrid.

Douglas Costa was one of the standout players for the Italian Champions as he was causing trouble for the Madrid back four on the right wing and putting in the crosses. Not only him but the entire Juve team were taking advantage of the absence of Ramos from central defence.

Massimiliano Allegri's tactics of applying the aerial route in the form of crosses and long balls proved to be spot on as it did help his side in getting the three goals. The third goal was the result of a Keylor Navas mistake as he spilt the ball out of his hands from an attempted Costa long ball which was pounced on by Blaise Matuidi to level it on the aggregate scoreline.

2 - Mario Mandzukic is the first player to score two first-half goals away at the Bernabeu in a Champions League match. Fighting. #RMAJUVE
