The Curse looks set to continue for Real Madrid.
The Spanish team fell away in Turin against Juventus.
– We sent a signal, said Andrea Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia.
It was 28 years since Real Madrid beat out an Italian team in the European game. In September 1987, defeated Napoli.
Real Madrid have faced Italian opposition seven times in the Champions League – according to the newspaper AS has any rash matches with double sessions ended with a loss.
And the first Champions League semi-final against Juventus ended with a defeat. “The old lady” won 2-1.

We have to go to Madrid and believe that we can go to the finals, says Andrea Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia according to Football Italia.
Carvajal caused punishment
Carlos Tevez became the big hero.
Ten minutes into the second half pulled Argentine started a counterattack. It ended with a challenge between him and Dani Carvajal. Tevez went down in the penalty area and referee Martin Atkinson pointed to the penalty spot.
– We were unlucky at the second target. Our shot was blocked and they started a counterattack. We were unlucky when we hit the bar, said coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Tevez thumped into the final score 2-1.
– This was no turseger, it was not that Juventus stumbled into a couple of times balls and then sank deep. Juventus met Real eye to eye, almost as if they were standing with their heads high and looked down, says Sportbladets Erik Niva in Viasat’s studio.
Meet the Parents
Alvaro Morata, born in Madrid , was baking in the introduction. He failed with an attempted lob after a few minutes, and in the assault after he gave Juventus the lead.
The 22-year-old, who left Real Madrid last summer, chose not to celebrate the 1-0 goal.
Juventus then had the game well under half of the first half.

Ronaldo equalized
James Rodriguez scampered along the right and chipped it in for Cristiano Ronaldo on the far post headed the 1-1.
Real Madrid ended the half well and after preliminary work by Isco was James Rodriguez very close to giving the away side the lead, but his header hit the crossbar.
