Round of 16

Real Madrid C.F. 1-0 Juventus FC

The score didn't reflect Real Madrid's dominance, as goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio made 10 saves to keep Juventus close. However, the 27-year-old shot-stopper could not keep Gonzalo Garcia's 54th-minute header out of his net. The victory also featured the return of Kylian Mbappe, who missed the first three games with gastroenteritis and came on as a 68th-minute substitute.
