Preview:
Juventus are unbeaten in Champions League play this season, and the Italians are now 90 minutes from a Champions League final appearance.
Juve hosts Monaco on Tuesday sporting a 2-0 lead. The Italians were once again ironclad at Stade Louis II, and they have now gone over 600 minutes without conceding a goal. Kylian Mbappe had his chances in the opening leg, but he was twice turned away by Buffon.
Monaco now face the unenviable task of going into Turin needing goals. Monaco have had no trouble scoring this season, but Juventus have only allowed two goals in the entire competition.
Juventus, two-time Champions League winners, could reach their second final in three years with a positive result on Tuesday. They fell 3-1 in the final to Barcelona in 2015, and haven’t won the competition since the 1995-96 season. An Italian team has not won Champions League since 2010, when Inter raised the cup after beating Bayern.
If Juventus survive, they could be going for a treble this season. They’re currently running away with Serie A, and will play in the Coppa Italia final against Lazio in June.
Kickoff is at 2:45 p.m. Eastern and will air on Fox Sports 1. Keep this page refreshed after kickoff for the latest updates.
