ANI Turin (Italy)

Juventus striker Carlos Tevez stunned Real Madrid with a smashing second-half penalty to give the hosts a 2-1 win in an absorbing Champions League semi-final on Tuesday.

According to Sport24, playing some of the best football of his career, the irrepressible Tevez won the spot kick when he was upended by Dani Carvajal following a breakaway.

Alvaro Morata scored the opening goal for JUventus in the ninth minute in front of a boisterous home crowd, but Cristiano Ronaldo headed the equaliser for Real in the 27th.

The game could have turned out very differently had Real forward James Rodriguez not wasted a header that hit the Juventus bar at point-blank range before the end of the first half of the match.
