DBasia.news –  Juventus reversed a 0-2 aggregate goal against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the last 16 of the Champions League at Allianz Stadium on Wednesday (3/13) morning Western Indonesian Time. Juve qualified for the last eight.

Unmitigated, Juve managed to win with a landslide score of 3-0, the three goals lodged in the goal of Jan Oblak were scored by the megastar, Cristiano Ronaldo in the 27th minute, 48 and penalties in the 86th minute. Massimiliano Allegri’s side escaped with a 3-2 aggregate goal advantage.

The lightness of Juve’s escape and the hat trick Ronaldo printed invited praise and comments from various parties, including the Barcelona captain who was also the strongest rival of the former Real Madrid player, Lionel Messi.

“Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus are truly extraordinary. I really was a little surprised because I had thought Atleti was in a more favored position (after winning 2-0 in the first leg),” Messi said as quoted by Goal.

“Juventus then managed to turn things around and Ronaldo managed to bring a great night by scoring three goals,” added the Argentine.

Juve’s victory over Atleti was a very special thing for Ronaldo, besides being a hero of La Vecchia Signora’s escape, the hat trick he made in this match also became the 52nd hat trick of his career.

As if not to be outdone by Ronaldo, Messi also appeared stunning when helping Barcelona qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals after beating Lyon with a score of 5-1 on Thursday (3/14) early morning Western Indonesian Time. La Pulga twice struck Les Gones and also made two assists which were converted into goals by Gerard Pique and Ousmane Dembele.
