Juventus qualified for the eighth of the Champions League as the first in group G after winning 3-0 at the Camp Nou against Barcelona on Tuesday, in the reunion between Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, a duel that was chosen on the side of the Portuguese, author of a double criminal.

In a nightmare night for the Catalans, who arrived with five victories, Juventus snatched the first place, which normally offers a better round of 16 draw, thanks to Ronaldo’s penalty goals (13 and 52) and the acrobatic finish of the American Weston McKennie (20).
For the first time since the Portuguese left Real Madrid for Italy in 2018, the players who have dominated football for more than ten years met again.
After a loving hug, football put everyone in their place. For Ronaldo, lethal, a long ball down the left was enough to take a penalty from a rookie like the Uruguayan Ronald Araujo, 21, who charged excessively on the Portuguese. He executed Marc André Ter Stegen from the fateful spot with a shot down the middle.
In the second half ‘CR7’ repeated, this time deceiving the goalkeeper, after the French Clement Lenglet committed an absurd penalty by touching the ball with his hand.

His mistake caused him to be replaced by his compatriot Samuel Umtiti. In between, Barcelona, clueless and vulnerable in defense, like the team that has conceded four defeats in the League, entrusted itself completely to Messi.
The Argentine, as this season has been the norm, probably the last one to play with the Catalans, was unsuccessful, multiplying the shots without success against an institution like Gigi Buffon, invulnerable in the framework of Juve at 42 years old.
