Juventus, the top football club in Italy, achieved a greater advantage towards the Semifinals as they defeated Real Madrid in a 2-1 score last Tuesday night, according to New York Times.

Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus' team manager, does not hold Championship League titles as compared to Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti, nor does he have the renowned stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo or Toni Kroos.

However, Allegri's power over former Chelsea and Juventus Manager Carlo Ancelotti for now is a lead.

Juventus, the two-time European Champions, topped Real Madrid in the first game of the two-game aggregate series. However, the final conclusion of this match is yet to be seen, as the return game will be played next Wednesday in Madrid.

Alvaro Morata made the first goal, marking a ray of hope since their first European appearance last 2003. Each strength of Allegri's players was smooth and dynamic, thus making a goal a well-deserved one.

"We played with extraordinary intensity. This is deserved," said Allegri.

Ancelotti's resume for being club manager can be summed up numerously but this game was not in his favor. There has been speculation about the future of his career after the end of the season.

Juventus suffered only a single loss in the 18 European matches at their own home stadium and this victory marks significance since their last match that occurred at Stadio del Alpi, according to BBC Sport.

As Juventus packed up on their early momentum, Real Madrid tried their best to catch up. Arturo Vidal, fortunately, found an opening in Real Madrid's defense in the first opening minutes, but the move was not a successful shot. Tevez followed Vidal's pattern and resulted in a goal.

Real Madrid's lineup during the game was a strong team as well. The team consisted of Casillas, Carvajal, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo, Rodriguez, Ramos, Kroos, Isco, Bale, and of course, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid's James Rodriguez dashed out of Patrice Evra's defense and executed a precise cross above Ronaldo's head as Juventus appealed for an offside flag. As Ronaldo headed the ball, this was the first goal of Real Madrid.

However, Juventus' lineup may not be stellar, their roster of players that consist of Captain Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Claudio Marchisio, and Midfielder Andrea Pirlo form a veteran core.

The second goal earned by Juventus stemmed from a penalty shot by Carlos Tevez, aided by a right foot shot towards the goal.

As the match ended between Juventus and Real Madrid, it was officially proclaimed that the Italian team was the winner.

Paul Pogba was missing in the Juventus team in this match, but this was not a hindrance to the team, who has a tight defense.

Juventus, as defined by James Rodriguez, lived up to the Italian team's reputation for having an iron fist in defense. Rodriguez elucidated that the team was intense from the back.

This Wednesday's upcoming match will be Bayern Munich against Barcelona. This will be another good game to watch, since Real Madrid is the defending champion and Juventus' chances of earning the championship would be to defeat either of them.
