Champions League Results 2017: Top Scorers, Odds After Semi-Final Leg 1 Scores

Juventus put on a ruthless display in the south of France as they defeated Monaco 2-0 in the first leg of the 2017 UEFA Champions League semi-final on Wednesday.

The Old Lady showed no fear or trepidation against the Ligue 1 leaders who have crushed many opponents at home this year.

A brace from Gonzalo Higuain put Monaco to the sword, who played with an inferiority complex throughout the encounter.

Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid in their first-leg tie, winning 3-0 after a hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday.

The treble sees the icon rise to second in the top-scorer charts, one goal behind Lionel Messi of Barcelona.
