Juventus 1-2 Manchester United: 5 Takeaways from the game

#1 Top spot in Group H up for grabs

Juventus missed a chance to qualify.

Juventus had a golden opportunity to not only qualify to the knockout stages but guarantee the top spot in the group. Before the game, Jose Mourinho played down the importance of the fixture and focused more on the next two games against Valencia and Young Boys.

Allegri's side was desperate to make the top spot their own which was visible in their approach. After Khedira and Dybala hit the post and the crossbar, some might have thought in the Juventus camp that it was not their day after all. But when you have Ronaldo in your ranks, something would give in. The Portuguese came up with one of the best goals in the Champions League this season to give Italian side the lead, but it was cancelled out by Mata's free kick.

With the game heading towards a draw, Manchester United came up with a winner preventing Juventus from qualifying and also bolstering their chances of finishing as group leaders. The Red Devils are two points behind their opposition today, and it could go down to the last day to decide the outcome of the group.
