5 key stats from Juventus' 3-1 win against Real Madrid

#1 Buffon's red card

Buffon received his marching orders in stoppage time

Mehdi Benatia's foul on Lucas Vazquez led to a penalty being awarded to Real Madrid. The decision left the Juventus players in agony as they made their way to protest the call by the referee.

Gianluigi Buffon and the rest of the Juventus team confronted the referee but things did not pan out well. A shove on the official meant that he was shown a straight red card, the spot kick was converted and the Bianconeri were eliminated from the competition in the last eight.

The sending off and Juventus' exit means that the clash against Madrid was Buffon's final appearance in Europe. The Champions League is the only trophy that has eluded the Juventus captain in his career and his final opportunity to win the prestigious trophy ended on a sour note.
