Newly crowned Italian champion, Juventus came back from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Real Madrid on Wednesday and reach the Champions League final against Barcelona with a 3-2 victory on aggregate.
Former Madrid striker Alvaro Morata scored the priceless equalizer for Juventus against his old club in the 57th minute at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Madrid was trailing 2-1 after last week’s first leg in Turin but the defending champions looked to have turned the contest around in the 23rd minute when Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty to give his side a 1-0 lead.
With Real’s exit, the Champions League curse continues: no side has ever repeated as winners in the Champions League era, which dates back to 1992.
The final will be played in Berlin on June 6.
