Things that we learnt from Real Madrid's loss over Juventus

Morata said "I was never going to celebrate against Real Madrid because they are still close to me"

Juventus performed extremely well in their first leg of UEFA champions league semifinal against Real Madrid on Tuesday. Both the teams played extremely well but Juventus saw off the defending champions 2-1. Juventus's Morata scored an opening goal in the 9' minute, completely putting Real Madrid into pressure but the score was equalized by the Ballon d'Or holder in 27' minute. However the score finalized on 2-1 when Carvajal was booked and a penalty was given to Juventus. Carlo Tevez put the ball in the center of the goal while Casillas couldn't judged it and dived right.

Juventus has now gripped a fighting chance of making into final since 2003.

Alvaro Morata scored an excellent goal from point black range through Iker Casillas in the 9th minute which was no less than a shock to Real Madrid. But Real Madrid put their full efforts and Cristiano Ronaldo made his goal. It was not shortly that Isco provided a dangerous ball across goal, though James Rodriguez diving header came back from across the goal woodwork.

There are three things which we learnt from Juventus victory against Real Madrid 2-1:

1.That was weird

Football fans had thought that Real Madrid would completely rip apart Juventus in the first leg but that fact completely changed around. Though Real Madrid tried their full to score against Juventus however they couldn't do so except one. Juventus on the other side scored two. Morata scored from point black range while Carvajal tackle in the keeper's box provided juventus with two!

2. Carlo Ancelloti tactics were confusing:

Carlo Ancelloti's tactics were really confusing. He changed his usual tactic of playing with one man on the strike but this time he went for 4-4-2 with Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale duo on the top completely giving Juventus a chance to control the midfield-especially through Andrea Pirlo's tendency to drift into free space unmarked and provide passes which proved too dangerous for Madrid's defence. However for Real Madrid, this formation didn't proved to be effective against Juventus.

3. Madrid's defence gives hope to Juventus

Andrea Pirlo often found pockets of space where he provided passes to strikers like Morata and Tevez. This gave hope to Juventus for scoring against Real Madrid's dodgy defence. Real Madrid surely have to tighten the cover of Andrea Pirlo in the second leg of Semi Final with Marcelo and Isco really struggled to track Stephan Lichtsteiner's marauding runs from full-back.
