In one of the most glamours ties in Europe’s premier competition, the Old Lady wrapped up the match with a 3-0 victory over Barcelona in what proved to be a thrilling and memorable clash in Turin.
Before the game even started, reports came in that Borussia Dortmund’s team bus was involved in three explosions, which saw their Champions League clash with Monaco postponed.

Just as it could’ve been 1-1, in a flash it became 2-0! .Buffon pulled off a spectacular save and Dybala whipped it with control into the bottom left corner again from the left edge of the penalty box.

Dybala is a bit special but Buffon isn't too shabby at the other end playing in his 32,657th Champions League game #JuveFCB

Chiellini grabbed the third! He was too strong for Mascherano and he muscled his way on to the cross to head in off the far post.

If Barcelona turn this around, it will be the greatest comeback in the Champions League since…..their last game.
