Real Madrid 1 Juventus 3 (4-3 agg): Ronaldo penalty saves holders' blushes as Buffon sees red

Real Madrid survived a stunning comeback to progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty.

Cristiano Ronaldo's stoppage-time penalty saved holders Real Madrid from a stunning Champions League exit against Juventus, the holders progressing 4-3 on aggregate after a night of high drama at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Juve seemed set to match the heroics of fellow Serie A side Roma against Barcelona at the Stadio Olimpico 24 hours earlier after surging into a 3-0 lead in the Spanish capital, only for Lucas Vazquez to draw a foul in the box and Ronaldo to settle the contest from the spot.
