The rest of Europe will have stood up and took note after Juventus beat Real Madrid, says midfield maestro Andrea Pirlo.
Andrea Pirlo says Juventus has sent a warning to its rivals by beating Real Madrid 2-1 in Tuesday's UEFA Champions League semifinal first leg.
Defending champions Real has been tipped by many to return to the final this season, but it must come from behind at the Santiago Bernabeu next week after being stifled by an excellent Juventus performance.
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded home a first-half equalizer after former Real man Alvaro Morata put Juve ahead, only for Carlos Tevez's second-half penalty to give Massimiliano Allegri's side a huge win.
