Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Juve were up against it in Turin against an Atleti side that had kept clean sheets in each of their last five matches. But Ronaldo’s 52nd career hat-trick - and his fourth against Atletico - sends the Italian champions into the last eight. And with 86 minutes on the clock, he fired home from the penalty spot after Federico Bernardeschi had been shoved by Angel Correa. "Atleti are a really tough team to face, but we are strong too and proved we deserved to go through. “It’s too early to talk about the Final, let’s take it one step at a time.”Atletico forward Antoine Griezmann admitted: “Tonight, Juve were superior on all levels.”
