63min: Well, I didn't think I would need to explain this around an hour ago but as it stands we are heading for extra time and possibly penalties.
By the way if Juventus score again, and who would be foolish enough to rule that out now, then Madrid would need two to cancel out the away goal.

GOAL! Real Madrid 0-3 JUVENTUS (agg 3-3)
60min: Oh my word, it is actually happening! Juventus are level in the tie! I thought the Madrid players looked nervous and Keylor Navas is no doubt among them as he fumbles a simple catch in the box, allowing Blaise Matuidi to steal in and tap home!
59min: Half-chance for Juventus but Gonzalo Higuain's turn and shot from the edge of the box is parried away by Navas.
57min: Madrid are seeing plenty of the ball but there is no tempo to their game - I would even go as far as saying there are a few Madrid bodies out there who are now scared of making a mistake and playing ina very conservative manner.
54min: We have already seen how poor Carvajal's acting skills are tonight, and again he goes down after a tussle with Madzukic clutching his face and slapping the floor in apparent agony.
It's the ridiculous reaction that probably convinced referee Michael Oliver there was nothing in his battle with Mandzukic, although he does win a free-kick out of it.

51min: A low key half so far and Madrid will settle for that over the next 39 minutes. Juventus need the goal but there is no rush among the visitors to get it right now.
48min: After perhaps one of the biggest half-time team talks of Zinedine Zidane's managerial career, his side have at least responded well after the break as they look to attack the Italian champions.

SECOND HALF: Juventus restart as Madrid make two changes...
And Gareth Bale is one of the victims as along with Casemiro he is hooked in favour of Marco Asensio ad Lucas Vazquez.

The reaction of a man who has renewed hope of extending his Champions League career by a few more games at least
20:45
The incredible thing is Madrid have not even been that bad!
They have certainly been better than Barcelona were last night but Juventus have simply been clinical with their few chances.
Madrid have looked...ok in terms of going forward but Juve have smelt blood in a defence who really are missing the experience and class of Ramos.
His replacement Jesus Vallejo on his Champions League debut has been a rabbit caught in the headlights.

HALF-TIME: Real Madrid 0-2 Juventus (agg 3-2)
Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo reacts after his side fall 2-0 behind against Juventus
45+1min: Off the bar! A free-kick whipped into the box is met by a Raphael Varane header, but the centre-back can only power his nodded effort off the woodwork.
43min: Already desperate times for Ronaldo who goes down far too easily inside the Juventus penalty box claiminga penalty. Michael Oliver barely has very little care as he waves play on.

40min: The unthinkable, even after last night's events is on. Juventus need just one goal to level the tie and take the game into extra-time. The Bernabeu is stunned, all the noise inside it is coming from the Juventus fans.
