The 0-3 goal, which put Juventus top of theiChampions League group, came thanks to a handball by Lenglet in the area. Cristiano Ronaldo, who had already scored from the spot, got a second from the spot and Ter Stegen was unable to save it.

It was coming and it came. If Barcelona were already in trouble at 0-2 down after 20 minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had already opened the scoring, got the third, a brace, from 12 yards again.

Lenglet committed a silly handball because he stuck his arm out for no reason and the referee gave a penalty after a trip to the pitchside monitor. Ronaldo beat Ter Stegen from the spot again. 

It was another move which reflected badly on the Barca defence. In the second goal, the defenders were unable to stop the Italian move and then Juve got the third to top the group. 

They had to beat Barca by two goals and score at least three and Ronaldo's second penalty made them first.
