Atletico Madrid took a big step towards the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, beating Juventus 2-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid in the first leg of their tie. Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin shut down Cristiano Ronaldo throughout the contest and bagged the goals in the second half.
Both team's defenders dominated proceedings, but the hosts were the better side and increased their attacking output after the break. Former Bianconeri Alvaro Morata had a goal ruled out by the video assistant before Gimenez and Godin scored just minutes apart.
