2014-15 UEFA Champions League Semi-final First Leg Juventus Vs Real Madrid Tuesday May 05,2015

 
Former Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata came back to haunt his old club as he sent Juventus on their way to a 2-1 victory over the holders in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday.
 

Alvaro Morata, who moved to Juventus in the offseason shortly after helping Madrid to a record 10th Champions League title, didn't celebrate after scoring the opening goal in the 9th minute.

Cristiano Ronaldo became the competition's all-time top scorer with Madrid's equalizer in the 27th minute but his former Manchester United teammate Carlos Tevez restored Juventus' lead from the penalty spot shortly in the 57th minute after being brought down by Dani Carvajal.

Real's goal took Cristiano Ronaldo back ahead of Lionel Messi in the all-time Champions League top-scorer charts. The Portuguese has 76 goals in the tournament to Messi's 75

Juventus will continue their bid to reach their first final since 2003 in the return leg in Madrid on May 13,2015
