The match also marked the return of Mbappé to the field, recovered from gastroenteritis.

Real Madrid will face the winner of the clash between Borussia Dortmund and Monterrey in the next round.

The Match

Juventus had the first two good chances to score in the match.

The best of them was with Kolo Muani, who went one-on-one with Courtois, but shot wide attempting a chip.

Real Madrid gradually took control of the game and was already superior towards the end of the first half.

After the break, their superiority turned into dominance.

The Spanish team had six shots in the first nine minutes of the second half.

The last of these was the goal scored by Gonzalo García, who headed into the net after a precise cross from Alexander-Arnold.

Xabi Alonso took the opportunity to bring on Mbappé for the first time in the tournament.

Recovered from gastroenteritis, the Frenchman came on in the 22nd minute of the second half.

Even while losing, Juve's goalkeeper kept working much more than Real's.

The Italian team showed few signs of a reaction and couldn't find the equalizer to avoid elimination.
