(CNN Spanish) – In the most anticipated match on Tuesday in the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus beat Lionel Messi’s Barcelona 3-0 at the Camp Nou. The Italian team thus unseated Barça and classifies to the round of 16 as first in group G.
It was the first cross between Messi and Ronaldo with the azulgrana and bianconera shirts. Barcelona was first in the group and only one win would allow Juve to qualify first.
That was exactly what happened: Cristiano Ronaldo put Vecchia Signora ahead with a penalty at 13 minutes, American Weston McKennie increased the lead 7 minutes later, and “CR7” again scored from a penalty at 52 minutes to sentence the 3 to 0 final.

With this result, Juventus climbed to the top of group G because they beat Barça on the aggregate of their two direct duels in this Champions League. The Catalan team had won 2-0 in Turin, Italy, so the aggregate was 3-2 in favor of those led by Andrea Pirlo.
This defeat is one more pearl in a necklace of disappointments for Ronald Koeman’s Barcelona. He has two consecutive defeats, and in his last 6 games, he lost 3.
To this is added that the team is ninth in La Liga, with 12 points less than the leader Atlético de Madrid.
