Silva vies for the ball against Pjanic

Bernardo Silva tried to muster up some attacks with his creativity but his efforts were in vain as Juventus kept it tight at the back and got bodies behind the ball. However, Juventus’ star youngster Paulo Dybala had a quiet half by his high standards.

Dybala showed glimpses of his ability in the first half but never really got into full gear in the game as Bakayako man-marked the young Argentine forward. However, he had a part to play in each goal by starting off the moves with his flicks and passing.

Bernardo Silva created chances for Falcao and the Monaco attack but he could not find the decisive through ball to split a compact and tough-tackling Juventus defence.
