Juventus will face Barcelona in the Champions League final after Alvaro Morata’s goal secured a 3-2 aggregate win over Real Madrid.
aaIt will be Juve’s first appearance in the final of the competition since 2003, when they were beaten on penalties.
The Italians had to come from behind to secure their progress in the Bernabeu as Cristiano Ronaldo converted a 23rd-minute penalty to put Real ahead on away goals.
But Morata, who left Real for Turin last summer, came back to haunt his former side with a 57th-minute strike to secure a 1-1 draw on the night and book Juve's place in the final in Berlin on June 6.
There will be no El Clasico in Berlin. Juventus were worthy winners over two legs. They got a vital victory at home, and a vital goal away.
Real Madrid are left ruing mistakes – like not facing up to the Iker Casillas issue a year earlier. He had two chances to stop the equalising goal. He failed both times.
