Juventus are through to the UEFA Champions League final

It was a superb victory for Juventus, a club that were relegated in disgrace only nine years ago. What was so good about it was the intelligence and the nerve. We take skill and application for granted as well as the tempo and stamina that Antonio Conte brought to them. But Allegri has injected something extra, a confidence in their ability and their methods. Whether they can live with Mes-Sua-Ney is for another day but with Buffon, Evra, Chiellini and Bonucci there is always hope. Let's not forget either that nine years ago a certain Andrea Pirlo was man of the match in the World Cup final at Berlin's Olympic Stadium. It's the happiest of hunting grounds for him, Andrea Barzagli and Gigi Buffon. Look at them, jubilant in blue again, 

at the Bernabéu.

Carlo Ancelotti speaks

"We lost the first game. Tonight we played at our best we were not lucky to score another goal. I was disappointed with the goal we conceded, of course, but we had a lot of opportunities to score a second but we were unlucky. Bale played better. I don't know [about next season] we have 15 days to work and then we can have a speech with the club."
