  • THAT’S ALL

    It was Juventus who come out on top tonight as they seal top spot in Group G.

    Barcelona lacked a cutting edge up top and too many shots from outside the area didn’t trouble Buffon.

    The night belonged to Cristiano Ronaldo as his brace helped get the three goal margin the Old Lady needed.

    But we’ll leave tonight with these two, the greatest footballers on planet earth sharing the same stage.

    Cherish them while we can. Goodnight!

  • MAYBE I WAS WRONG

    Ronaldo didn’t appear too bothered about being subbed.

    He took the long walk around the Camp Nou and arrived back to a hero’s reception.

    Maybe he was a tad bothered after all!

    Buffon and Messi swapped shirts at full time.

    On tonight’s evidence, I assume that Messi went asking for Gigi’s!

  • FT: BARCELONA 0-3 JUVENTUS

    Juventus needed a big result to take top spot in group G….and that’s exactly what they got.

    In a battle of the giants clash at the Camp Nou, Ronaldo came out on top against Messi.

    He opened the scoring from the spot after being brought down by Araujo, before coolly stroking the ball down the middle from the spot.

    They made it two shortly after when McKennie was given all the room in the world to fire home acrobatically from six-yards out.

    Ronaldo made it three in the second half when Lenglet was adjudged to have handballed it. The referee needed a monitor check before giving it.

    This time, Ronaldo whipped it into the bottom corner.

    They almost had a fourth when Bonucci poked home from inside the six-yard box but VAR caught him offside.

    The battle was Ronaldo and Messi but it was Buffon who was the Argentinian’s arch nemesis, denying him on several occasions.

    Ronaldo even tracked back and pinched the ball off Messi in his defensive third late on, for good measure.

    A great night for the Italians and they will get a group runner-up in the next stage.
