Spanish giants Real Madrid were sensationally dumped out of the Champions League by Juventus after losing 2-0 to the Italian side in extra-time.
With the scores tied at 1-1 on aggregate and penalties just four minutes away, Marcelo Zalayeta’s superb low drive found the bottom corner for the all-important second goal that took the Italian side through to the quarter-finals at the expense of the nine-time European champions. Juve substitute David Trezeguet scored the only goal of regulation time, his 75th minute hooked shot restoring equality in the second round tie after Madrid’s victory by the same 1-0 scoreline a fortnight ago.
Real’s Brazilian striker Ronaldo and Juve midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi marred an otherwise sporting contest by being sent off in the second period of extra-time for an ugly exchange off the ball. With Real eight points adrift of Barcelona in the Spanish league, the expensively-assembled ’Galacticos’ could now end the season without a single piece of silverware. Juve coach Fabio Capello, who guided Real to the Spanish league title in the 1996/97 season, made no excuses for his wild celebrations after the final whistle, his normally cool exterior giving way to a man possessed as he danced down the tunnel.
