But only seven minutes later, Mario Mandzukic brought Juventus level with one of the greatest goals in Champions League history. From a Real Madrid perspective, the danger seemed to be over when Gonzalo Higuain shifted the ball to Mandzukic.
He took a touch as Real defenders converged, but he then sent an acrobatic overhead volley past an unsuspecting Keylor Navas and inside the far post.
