If the other side there was another coincidence between Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Monaco, Juventus probably would not have snatched the pass to the semifinals of the Champions League . The urn in Nyon, however, long ago had been benevolent and for coupling the quarter-final to Juventus was awarded the Monaco, a team far less dangerous of the three mentioned above and which became mandatory gamble with ambitions of success. No sooner said than done. After the 1-0 deficit thanks to the rigor of Vidal, in return served contain. And this is what he did Juve, who left the Monaco play throughout the game, agreeing to only play on the break. E ‘went well, but from now on will serve to raise the pace of their game. Now one of those three – Barca, Real and Bayern – touches you for sure.
THE CHRONICLE
As was expected the day before, to do the game is the Monaco, with Juve waiting very low initiative opponents. Chiellini, who gets the yellow after less than a minute for a slip almost grotesque, does now understand that it will be a difficult game for Juventus. Bernardo Silva is particularly inspired: his descent to 15 ‘nearly generates Barzagli own goal. At 36 ‘, Collum not see a (nearly) penalty for the Monaco for a foul sandwich Vidal and Chiellini on Kondogbia, always too free kick from the edge of the area. In the end of the first half, Juve gets up a few feet, but – besides a conclusion of Tevez from the edge – creates far too little.
Jardim Berbatov puts in place of Toulalan, not the best after the injury, and the Monaco continues to play. Buffon is forced to an output-saving result of Berbatov, after an error during the disengagement of the company Vidal-Bonucci. On the tip of the front is Morata to have the opportunity to send in port Tevez, in a rare counter-attacks of Juventus, but the Spanish striker prefers to go away on its own and ended up losing the ball. In the end the only real chance of the game is to Pirlo’s free kick hit the corner of the goal to beat Subasic. Ends 0-0. And for Juventus is the semifinals.

KEY STATISTICS
The Juventus back in the semifinals of the Champions League 12 years after the last time. It was the 2002-2003 season: the Bianconeri made outside the Barcelona first of facing Real Madrid. That year Juve lost the final on penalties to AC Milan.
THE BEST
Andrea Barzagli – Impeccable. Do not miss a single intervention. Allegri tip on him and the defender Tuscan repays as always great. In an evening purely defensive his contribution matters a lot. Reliability ageless.
THE WORST
Giorgio Chiellini – After 46 seconds slips again and is forced to stop the ball with the hand, immediately taking the yellow card. Threatens the red on the half hour of Moutinho and co-star (with Vidal) episode of rigor on Kondogbia. A disaster in the first half. In the second half calms and solid returns. It is not enough to save a test creepy.
