There was to be no repeat of Barcelona’s miraculous comeback against PSG in the previous round, as Juventus held their hosts to a 0-0 draw at the Camp Nou to advance to Champions League semi-finals.
Although Barca needed at least three goals to progress, it was Juventus who made the brighter start, dominating possession for the first ten minutes. The home side got a foothold after that, however, with Lionel Messi and Neymar both missing chances to open the scoring.
Juventus kept Barcelona at arms’ length for the rest of the half, with an increasingly tense and chippy game finishing 0-0 at the break.
