4' Chiellini's goal ruled out for a foul
The ball ricochets goalwards and is pounced on by Ronaldo, before Chielini blasts it home from close range. The hosts think they have scored, but the referee will go to VAR as Oblak may have had two hands on the ball when Ronaldo took it off him.
27' GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Atletico (Ronaldo)
GOOOOAAALLL!!! JUVENTUS 1-0 ATLETICO! Ronaldo, who has been far from his best in this season's Champions League by his standards - he had just one goal all campaign before today - gives Juve the breakthrough goal they craved. Bernardeschi clips a ball towards the back post and Ronaldo outjumps Juanfran to head it past Oblak.
33' CHANCE! Bernardeschi's bicycle kick over the bar
AUDACIOUS ATTEMPT! Bernardeschi, with an assist to his name already today, looks full of confidence. The winger watches Spinazzola's left-sided cross all the way and attempts a bicycle-kick inside the box that flies a yard wide.
49' GOAL! Juventus 2-0 Atletico (Ronaldo)
GOOOOAAALLL!!! JUVENTUS 2-0 ATLETICO! It's that man again!! Ronaldo once again gets between two Atletico defenders and heads Cancelo's right-sided cross towards goal. Oblak appears to pull off an incredible save to scoop the ball away from his line, but the referee's watch indicates that it crossed the line.
86' GOAL! Juventus 3-0 Atletico (Ronaldo)
GOOOOAAALLL!!! JUVENTUS 3-0 ATLETICO! Ronaldo sends the ball into the bottom left, the opposite way that Oblak dived, to complete this remarkable comeback. Yet another Champions League treble for the Juventus forward.
Match Report
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brilliant hat-trick as Juventus produced a stunning Champions League comeback, winning 3-0 at home against Atletico Madrid to progress to the quarter-finals 3-2 on aggregate.
A VAR review denied Juve a fourth-minute opener, but Ronaldo's first header of the game gave them hope and the Serie A leaders drew level in the tie thanks to the Portugal superstar's aerial power again.
The excellent Federico Bernardeschi then drove into the penalty area and was brought down by Angel Correa, with Ronaldo stepping up with four minutes to go to convert the spot-kick and down Atletico Madrid yet again.
Ronaldo has now scored 25 goals against Atletico in his career, with the former Real Madrid forward's treble on Tueday denying his old club's city rivals the chance to play in this season's final at their Wanda Metropolitano home.
