Juventus 3-0 Atletico Madrid: 5 tactics from Allegri that won the game

#1 Using Ronaldo’s abilities to the fullest

Juventus v Club de Atletico Madrid - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

Ronaldo had a free role as usual and Mandzukic and Bernardeschi were tasked with creating spaces for the Portuguese to run into. While Atletico crowded the middle to deny Ronaldo any room or time on the ball, Allegri made use of one of the Portuguese's most dangerous talents - heading.

There are few people in the world who can head the ball as cleanly and with as much power as Ronaldo and Juventus knew that they could use his aerial prowess to their advantage. The home side sent in a plethora of crosses and Ronaldo needed just two of them to bring his team back into the tie.

The first came in the 27th minute from a Bernardeschi cross that was powered home by the Portuguese. The second was even better! As Cancelo sent in a cross, Ronaldo managed to generate incredible power in his header even under acute marking. Oblak pawed the ball away, but it had already crossed the line!

And in the 86th minute, when Juventus were awarded a penalty, up stepped the man who had an incredible record from penalties. As expected, Ronaldo scored and sent Juventus through.
