Juventus massacre Barcelona 3-0 in Champions League quarter-finals

By Kazeem Ugbodaga

Juventus takes a step towards qualifying for Champions League Semi-finals on Tuesday as the Old Lady massacre Barcelona 3-0 in Italy.

Paulo Dybala is simply the hero of the night as his brace helped Juventus overcame a sloppy Barcelona team.

Dybala opened scoring for the home side in the 7th minute of the game as he curled in a super strike to beat the Barcelona keeper.

He was again on duty in the 22nd minute of the game when he scored his second goal as Barcelona were 2-0 down at half time.

In the 55th minute of the game, Giorgio Chiellini made it 3-0 for Barcelona, while what could have been the fourth goal for the Old Lady was wrongly ruled off-side by the referee.

Barcelona were beaten 4-0 by PSG in the round of 16 first leg but overturned the table at Nou Camp when they maul PSG 6-1 to qualify in a miraculous way.

This time around, it is doubtful if they could repeat the same miracle against a disciplined and defensive side as Juventus when the two sides meet next Wednesday in Spain for the second leg.
