92'FT: Juventus 0-3 Real Madrid. Wow. A record-breaking brace from Cristiano Ronaldo and a solitary Marcelo strike give Real Madrid a comfortable victory here. Things couldn't have gone much worse for Juventus, who also had Paulo Dybala sent off for two bookable offences. It could even have been more for Real, who hit the bar twice and saw Ronaldo fluff a glorious late chance for a hat-trick.
-
92 'CHANCE! Cuadrado exchanges passes with Chiellini of all people and finds himself with a free shot on goal six yards out but he somehow drags his effort wide. That should be that.
-
92 'It's all happening now as Naves plunges away to his right to deny Higuain.
-
92 'WHAT A CHANCE! It should be three for Ronaldo. Vazquez is put in down the right and he crosses low for Ronaldo who is all alone in the middle but he can only side-foot over first time. He couldn't have asked for a better chance!
-
91 'Kovacic goes into the book.
-
90'2 minutes added on.
-
90 'The ball sits up nicely for Asensio but he doesn't make good contact and Buffon easily gathers.
-
90 'Ronaldo chops inside his man down the left but Buffon pushes his low effort away for a corner at the near post.

-
85 'CHANCE! Ronaldo fluffs a chance for a hat-trick as he lifts the ball over the bar after being put one-on-one with Buffon.
Substitution

-
72 'GOAL! REAL MADRID! MARCELO! It's 3-0! Ronaldo and Marcelo exchange passes, with the Portuguese's return putting the defender in and he keeps his cool to dink the ball over Buffon and nudge the ball into the back of the net. Juventus may have lost this ties in the first leg here.
-
71 'Ronaldo cuts onto his right foot just inside the box but can't get the requisite whip and he effort flies well wide.

Second yellow card
a Juventus
-
66 'Dybala is sent off! A second yellow for the Argentine as he catches Carvajal in the chest as he looks to control a long ball. From bad to worse for Juve.
Goaaaaaal!
en el 64' (Real Madrid)
-
64 'GOAL! REAL MADRID! RONALDO! What a goal! Ronaldo rounds Buffon after a mistake from Chiellinig but when he pulls the ball back to Vazquez and he sees his effort parried away by Buffon the chance appeared to be gone. It wasn't. The ball is crossed back in from the right and Ronaldo produces an incredible overhead kick that soars past Buffon and into the top corner to double Real's lead.
-
62'Lots of fouls are sneaking into this one now.
Substitution
at Real Madrid
-
59 'Karim Benzema is replaces by Lucas Vazquez for Real Madrid.
-
57'Isco nicks the ball off a defender and Real think they are in, only for the referee to blow for a foul. That one looked soft.
-
56 'Dybala takes responsibility and his effort is deflected inches wide off the head of Casemiro. Navas was beaten and there was a collective holding of breath from the Real Madrid squad there.
-
54 'Ramos goes into the book for tripping Dybala on the edge of the box. He will now miss the second leg and Juventus have a dangerous free-kick.
-
53'Isco didn't misplace a single pass in that first half:

-
52'A brief moment of panic in the Madrid defence as Nacho clatters Ramos when trying to clear a free-kick, but the ball is cleared before it can drop to Higuain.
-
50 'CLOSE! Benzema bundles his way towards goal and when his progress is halted the ball drops to Ronaldo on a narrow angle but his effort fizzes just wide of the far post.
-
49'Costa whips in a dangerous-looking cross from the right but it comes to nothing.
-
46'Juventus get us back underway. What will the second half have in store for us?

-
44 'Dybala steps up but his effort fails to beat the wall.
-
43'Danger here for Real as Modric upends Dybala just outside the box. The Argentina will fancy this one.
-
41 'Bentacur blazes over from 30 yards. Desperate.
-
38 'Chiellini meets a corner completely unmarked but he fails to make telling contact and Varane is there to scramble away Higuain's low centre.
-
36'OFF THE BAR! Toni Kroos what a hit son! The ball drops to him 25 yards out and his pile-driver clatters the crossbar on its way over. So close for the German!
-
34 'De Sciglio shoots low from just outside the box out on the right and Dybala is inches away from connecting in the middle. He doesn't quite get there though and the ball skids wide.

-
7'Chiellini goes down as he looks to burst into the box but the referee says nothing doing.

3 'GOAL! REAL MADRID! RONALDO! It had to be didn't it! Marcelo does well to put Isco in down the left and Ronaldo races across his man to prod the Spaniard's low cross past Buffon and into the far corner. What a start!

PRVWReal Madrid haven't lost a Champions League knockout game in over 1,000 days, though Juve were the last side to make them taste defeat back in 2015.
-
PRVWReal Madrid have fielded exactly the same team as they did in last year's final, whilst Douglas Costa, Mattia De Sciglio, Rodrigo Bentacur and Kwadwo Asamoah have come in for Leonardo Bonucci, Dani Alves (both left the club), Mario Mandzukic (on the bench) and Miralem Pjanic (suspended).

PRVWMax Allegri believes Juve have learnt from their defeat in Cardiff: "The Cardiff match was a very important lesson to grow and improve. We could have managed the ball better in the second half and we have to be faster and deal with it in a more serene way. From this point of view, a psychological point of view, the team has certainly made very much progress. Real Madrid players are always very concentrated and exploit the weaknesses and they stay very relaxed in these types of matches."
