Arda Turan’s close range finish 15 minutes from time ensured Massimiliano Allegri’s men would come away from the Vicente Calderon empty-handed after a tense encounter in Madrid.

Chances were few and far between throughout the contest with Gianluigi Buffon having to push away Mario Mandzukic’s long range effort in the first-half.

Juventus came out with more purpose after the interval, enjoying the lion’s share of possession, but were unable to break through a stubborn Atleti backline.

A telling period of pressure from the home side saw Turan prod home from Juanfran’s right wing cross with a quarter of an hour to be played. The Turkish international’s goal saw him become the first player to beat Buffon since team-mate Diego Godin at the 2014 World Cup.
